Book • 1862
Les Misérables is a profound novel that delves into the lives of several characters, particularly Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who seeks redemption after being treated with kindness by a bishop.
The novel critiques the social injustices of 19th-century France, including poverty, extreme social inequality, and a harsh prison system.
It weaves historical events, such as the June Rebellion of 1832, into the narrative and emphasizes the importance of love, compassion, and the inherent dignity of all people.
