Description
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo is a tale of injustice, heroism, and love that follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. Valjean's attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly under threat.
His journey is plagued by his own conscience, especially when an innocent man is mistakenly arrested in his place. Moreover, the relentless investigations of the dogged Inspector Javert add to his woes.
It is not simply for his own sake that Valjean must remain free. He has made a solemn vow to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, a woman driven to prostitution by poverty.
