Les Mis

Book •
'Les Misérables' by Victor Hugo is an epic novel that delves into the depths of human suffering, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of justice.

Set in 19th-century France, the story follows Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who seeks to rebuild his life after serving a prison sentence for stealing bread.

As Valjean navigates a society marked by poverty, inequality, and moral decay, he encounters a diverse cast of characters who challenge his beliefs and shape his destiny.

Through themes of love, sacrifice, and the power of forgiveness, Hugo paints a vivid portrait of the human condition and the enduring hope for a better world.

The novel serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative potential of compassion.
