Description

Victor Hugo's Les Misérables is a powerful tale of injustice, heroism and love. The story follows Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his past behind him, as he navigates the complexities of his new life in a community where his very existence is constantly threatened. His attempts to become a respected member of society are put under pressure by his own conscience and the relentless investigations of Inspector Javert. At the heart of the novel is Valjean's sworn duty to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, a young woman driven to prostitution by poverty. This selfless act sets in motion a chain of events that will test Valjean's resolve and challenge his very sense of identity. Written by Victor Hugo, Les Misérables is a masterpiece of western literature that explores the human condition in all its complexity.
