Jean Valjean

by Victor Hugo

Overview

Une planche pour dormir, la chiourme, les coups, les boulets au pied, dix-neuf ans de cet implacable bagne ont fait du forçat Jean Valjean un homme meurtri, brisé. Tout ça pour avoir cassé un carreau et pris un pain. Pourtant, lorsqu'il est enfin libéré en 1815, l'espoir renaît lorsque l'ancien bagnard croise sur sa route Fantine et Cosette.

About the Author

"If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away," the larger-than-life Victor Hugo once confessed. Indeed, this 19th-century French author's books — from the epic drama Les Misérables to the classic unrequited love story The Hunchback of Notre Dame — have spanned the ages, their themes of morality and redemption as applicable to our times as to his.
