I bought "The Wretched" from Amazon - something like 99 cents; this was a great bargain - and then found out about the controversy surrounding the title, perhaps due to the popularity of the film and the idea that this correct translation of the title would get lost in the shufffle.

I ended up copying the new cover and making another ebook copy for my use. (Remember, I had purchased "The Wretched.")

I now have both ebook copies with the two different covers.

since you bought the The Wretched, how is the book compare to the Les Miserables Signet translation?
