This epic narrative follows the lives of several characters, particularly the ex-convict Jean Valjean, in post-revolutionary France. Through Valjean's journey of redemption, his pursuit by the rigid Inspector Javert, and the lives of characters like Fantine and Cosette, Hugo weaves a powerful tale of justice, moral philosophy, politics, and love. The novel provides a sweeping critique of French society while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.
