K. Vinogradov. Hugo's passionate humanist arguments against capital punishment and social injustice found a complex reception in the USSR, where they could be interpreted as a critique of bourgeois legal systems. This compact, mass-produced softcover edition, typical of early 1930s Soviet publishing, made Hugo's socially engaged prose accessible to a wide readership, reflecting the state's selective promotion of critical Western literature within its own ideological framework.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963040694314,"sku":"EB-306366931505","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_2db762eb-be4f-4d71-a6a0-3a3955e494d4.jpg?v=1768160411","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/hugo-the-last-day-of-a-condemned-man-1931-%d0%b3%d1%8e%d0%b3%d0%be-%d0%bf%d0%be%d1%81%d0%bb%d0%b5%d0%b4%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%b9-%d0%b4%d0%b5%d0%bd%d1%8c-%d1%81%d0%bc%d0%b5%d1%80%d1%82%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%b0-%d0%ba%d0%b0%d0%b7%d0%bd%d1%8c-%d0%b3%d0%b5","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
