Summary

Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism, and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat by his own conscience, when, owing to a case of mistaken identity, another man is arrested in his place; and by the relentless investigations of the dogged policeman Javert. It is not simply for him that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty.

A compelling and compassionate view of the victims of early 19th-century French society, Les Misérables is a novel on an epic scale.

Enjoyable story

Talking Classics is an excellent series when it comes to quality abridged adaptations of classic novels. In this particular case, I have never read the full version, so cannot directly compare. However, I did enjoy this version, which I recommend.
