"Les Misérables" De Victor Hugo by Henri Scepi
A sweeping historical novel that follows an ex-convict, Jean Valjean, who, transformed by an act of mercy, strives to live honestly while being relentlessly pursued by the rigid inspector Javert; along the way he cares for the dying Fantine’s daughter Cosette, becomes entwined with the idealistic Marius and the lives of Paris’s poor, and is swept up in the city’s uprisings, all while exploring themes of redemption, justice, compassion and social reform.
