Description

“Les Misérables” is a monumental novel by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862. Set in early 19th-century France, it follows the lives of several characters, primarily Jean Valjean, an ex-convict seeking redemption, and Inspector Javert, who is relentless in his pursuit of Valjean.

The story begins with Valjean’s release from prison after serving a long sentence for stealing bread to feed his family. Despite his desire to start anew, he finds himself rejected by society and struggles to find work. However, a compassionate bishop offers him a second chance, prompting Valjean to turn his life around.

As the narrative unfolds, Valjean’s path intersects with various characters, including Fantine, a destitute single mother; Cosette, Fantine’s daughter whom Valjean adopts; Marius, a young revolutionary; and Eponine, a girl from the streets who harbors unrequited love for Marius. Against the backdrop of social upheaval, political unrest, and the June Rebellion of 1832, their lives intertwine in a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption.

“Les Misérables” is renowned for its vivid portrayal of human suffering, resilience, and the struggle for justice. Through its expansive scope and richly drawn characters, Hugo explores themes of morality, forgiveness, social injustice, and the enduring power of compassion. The novel’s timeless message of hope and redemption continues to resonate with readers worldwide, cementing its status as one of the greatest works of literature ever written.

    It was my first experiance with you and I totally loved it. The book was in amazing condition and prize was affordable too. I will be placing my second order soon. Removed one star for not sending bookmark. It is must thing to add to order.

  2. Mohammed Suhail (Verified Purchase)

    I ordered this book and received a really high quality paperback edition which was very neatly packed. I won’t go into detail regarding the excellence of the Everyman’s translation nor review what is arguably (according to Tolstoy) the greatest novel ever written. All I would like to do is to encourage those of you who know the stage musical or movie to read this book and not to be daunted by its size.

  3. Baljit Singh (Verified Purchase)

    I received this book in a wonderful condition at a very reasonable price. As far as book is concerned its a masterpiece.
    It is an incredible story of temptations, redemptions, evil, love; it describes how miserable life in that era of France was for the common people.
