I Miserabili by Victor Hugo
A sweeping 19th-century novel follows Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who, after serving a harsh sentence for stealing bread, reinvents himself and devotes his life to protecting the downtrodden—especially Fantine's orphaned daughter Cosette—while being dogged by the unyielding inspector Javert. Set against poverty, political unrest, and the 1832 Paris uprising, the story examines justice, mercy, sacrifice, and the social forces that shape human destiny.
