Les Misérables (Broché)

Les Misérables is Victor Hugo's classic tale of injustice, heroism and love following the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. Those attempts are constantly put under threat : by his own conscience, and by the relentless investigations of the dogged policeman Javert. Set against the epic backdrop of civil unrest in France and with striking intensity and contemporary resonance, Hugo's novel explores the struggles and triumphs of the underclass and the quest for a better life.
