Les Misérables. Paris : Pagnerre, 1862.
Édition originale parisienne, parue quelques jours après une édition belge. Pagnerre n'était pas éditeur à proprement parler, mais distributeur de l'ouvrage pour les libraires belges Lacroix et Verboeckhoven. "Les épreuves corrigées, le roman paraît à la fin de mars 1862 ; dix-huit années se sont écoulées depuis le début de la rédaction de ce long poème en prose à la gloire du peuple où l'optimisme foncier du créateur trouve une fin heureuse et libératrice pour les survivants de son épopée de la misère. Le succès fut immense et ne s'est pas démenti." (R. Pierrot, En Français dans le texte, n° 275) Clouzot, p. 150 ; Carteret I, p. 421; Vicaire IV, col. 328-329 ; Talvart et Place, n° 59B ("le plus grand succès d'édition du XIXe siècle").
10 vol. in-8 (228 x 141 mm). Sans mention d'édition sur les titres. Reliure signée Quinet : demi-chagrin rouge, dos à faux nerfs orné doré. (Piqûres et rousseurs. Mouillures éparses. Reliure légèrement frottée, coins émoussés, coiffe supérieure du tome I fendue, accroc au premier plat du tome 4 avec papier décollé, mors inférieur fendu au tome VII).
First Parisian edition, bound by Quinet.
