Book Description:
Les Misérables is Victor Hugo’s monumental novel of love, justice, and human dignity set against the backdrop of 19th-century France. Spanning decades and generations, this sweeping epic follows the life of Jean Valjean — a former convict pursued by the relentless Inspector Javert — as he seeks redemption in a society that refuses to forgive.
From the barricades of revolution to the quiet sacrifices of mercy and compassion, Les Misérables intertwines the personal with the political, the spiritual with the historical. Alongside Valjean, we meet unforgettable figures: the tragic Fantine, the brave Cosette, the cunning Thénardiers, the passionate Marius, and many more — each caught in the tides of suffering and salvation.
Rich with poetic vision, philosophical depth, and social urgency, Les Misérables is a timeless cry for justice and humanity. This definitive 5-volume edition captures Hugo’s full scope, offering an immersive and unabridged experience of one of literature’s greatest achievements.
