Book Description
Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables is a monumental tale of justice, love, sacrifice, and redemption, set against the turbulent backdrop of 19th-century France. This new translation of the original French text brings a fresh, contemporary voice to Hugo’s masterpiece, while staying faithful to the richness and emotional depth of the original. At the heart of the story is Jean Valjean, a man condemned for stealing a loaf of bread, who embarks on a lifelong journey of transformation and moral awakening. Alongside him are unforgettable characters like Fantine, the tragic mother forced into despair, and Javert, the relentless inspector driven by an unwavering sense of duty. Their lives intersect with the sweeping forces of revolution, poverty, and justice in a narrative that is both epic in scale and deeply personal. What sets this translation apart is its clarity and accessibility for modern readers, without losing the grandeur and poetic intensity of Hugo’s original prose. By capturing the full range of Hugo's language, from his vivid character portrayals to his sharp social critique, this edition ensures that the novel’s timeless themes of hope, forgiveness, and the fight for justice resonate just as powerfully today as they did when first published. With its vibrant translation, Les Misérables continues to stand as one of the most powerful and enduring works in all of literature.

Book Description
The story begins in 1815 in Digne, as the peasant Jean Valjean, just released from 19 years' imprisonment in the Bagne of Toulon-five for stealing bread for his starving sister and her family and fourteen more for numerous escape attempts-is turned away by innkeepers because his yellow passport marks him as a former convict. He sleeps on the street, angry and bitter.Digne's benevolent Bishop Myriel gives him shelter. At night, Valjean runs off with Myriel's silverware. When the police capture Valjean, Myriel pretends that he has given the silverware to Valjean and presses him to take two silver candlesticks as well, as if he had forgotten to take them. The police accept his explanation and leave. Myriel tells Valjean that his life has been spared for God, and that he should use money from the silver candlesticks to make an honest man of himself.
