About the Book: Les Miserables
Les Misérables is a story of human struggles, victories, failures, love and
desires, with the surrounding revolutionary fever serving as a common thread.
One of Victor Hugos best-known works, the narrative spans many years as it
describes the protagonist Valjeans release from prison and transformation into
an industrialist while being relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert, a morally
rigid figure. Les Misérables, Victor Hugos crowning achievement, was an instant
hit both in France and internationally due to its advocacy for the
underprivileged and dispossessed..
