I am enjoying the MobileRead version of "Les Mis" right now. (Thank you, Harry!). Isabel Hapgood's translation is beautiful. She was from Boston, I believe, so it is an American version that was contemporaneous with the original work. Perhaps others have said this, but if you purchase a copy, be careful about whether it is an abridged or unabridged version. Sometimes that is not clear.
