Reseña del editor

Victor Hugo's classic tale follows the tragic life of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict who tries to do the right thing and put his past behind him but is constantly thwarted by a society unwilling to accept that a man can change. When he encounters a suffering young woman, Fantine,who has been driven to illness and despair by poverty, she tells him about her daughter Cosette. Valjean goes to extraordinary lengths to protect her as the policeman Javert draws closer to discovering his true identity. There is no other novel quite like Victor Hugo's sweeping epic of French society from the end ofthe Napoleonic era until the 1830 Revolution.

As a young man he was a committed royalist but as he grew older he was increasingly drawn to republicanism. When he returned to Paris after exilein 1870 he was a national hero, but his personal life took a turn for the worse. He suffered a stroke, his daughter was committed to an insane asylum and his two sons died.
