Les Miserables is a classic tale of redemption, exploring the complex interplay of mercy and justice. Jean Valjean, a recently paroled criminal, encounters the life-changing power of grace through a saintly bishop’s sacrificial love. His life is profoundly transformed, but his criminal past haunts him as he is pursued by the relentless detective Javert, intent on bringing Valjean to justice. Which is more powerful – justice or mercy? Is transformation a possibility? Victor Hugo explores these themes and more as he follows Valjean, Javert, and an unforgettable cast of supporting characters through the turbulent world of 19th-century France. At more than 1,200 pages long, this is not a quick read, but it is deeply rewarding – even life-changing for some readers. Join Valjean on his quest for transformation, and you just might find that you, too, have been changed by the time you finish this epic.
