This vast, magnificent tapestry set against the background of post-Napoleonic France is a potent social document of the poverty, ignorance, and brutality of man. "Les Miserables" is also a rousing adventure from the leader of the French Romantic movement.

Work Description
In this story of the trials of the peasant Jean Valjean--a man unjustly imprisoned, baffled by destiny, and hounded by his nemesis, the magnificently realized, ambiguously malevolent police detective Javert--Hugo achieves the sort of rare imaginative resonance that allows a work of art to transcend its genre.
