Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
Here's the epic story that spawned Hollywood films and Broadway musicals--in a condensed and updated version perfect for the twenty-first century reader seeking its redemptive message. Born of the unrest that pervaded France after the failure of its eighteenth-century revolution, Les Miserables follows the journey of Jean Valjean from depravity and corruption to grace and redemption. The eclectic cast of characters accompanying Valjean causes us to empathize with the condition of the human spirit--from Fantine, the desperate single mother, to the cold justice of Javert, to the passion of Cosette, to the revolutionary spirit in Marius. This retelling of Hugo's epic 1862 novel retains the richness that is Les Mis, in approximately one-fifth of the original wording.Victor Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a celebrated poet, novelist, and playwright in the literary world. He is regarded as one of France's most famous writers. He's also well-known for his publicly expressed political views and activities.
