Le Miserable
Slavery isn't over
Book •
In 19th-century France, Jean Valjean, imprisoned for stealing bread, seeks redemption after being freed.
Pursued relentlessly by Inspector Javert, he becomes a benefactor to Fantine, a struggling single mother, and vows to protect her daughter, Cosette.
As Valjean evades capture while improving the lives of others, the story explores themes of justice, mercy, and the resilience of the human spirit amidst poverty and social injustice.
Set against the backdrop of political unrest, the narrative culminates in the Paris Uprising of 1832, where the characters' fates intertwine.
'Les Misérables' is a sprawling epic that examines moral dilemmas and the fight for dignity.
