Summary
Victor Hugo: Les Misérables
An epic novel about redemption, sacrifice, love and suffering... Les Misérables tells the story of Jean Valjean, who spent nineteen terrible years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread. Saved thanks to charity, he gets a chance to find happiness if he can help Fantina's young daughter. However, the persistent police inspector Javert does not allow Jean to escape from the past. On the bestseller list since its publication, the novel Les Miserables skilfully interweaves personal destinies with a turbulent historical epoch into a unique, sumptuous and imaginative dramatic story about life's adversities.
