Les Misérables

Considered to be French novelist Victor Hugo's masterpiece, Les Miserables, which was published in 1862, is a sprawling historical and philosophical epic that covers from 1815 through the Paris Uprising in 1832. Notable for its many subplots and digressions from the main storyline, the novel's stated aim is a progress from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from falsehood to truth, which can be seen most clearly in the story of the central character Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who struggles to shake the sins of his past and become a good man. Widely adapted, the novel inspired the blockbuster musical and movie colloquially known as Les Mis. This is an unabridged audio recording of the 1887 Isabel F. Hapgood translation.

Incredible Book

Highly recommend listening to this unabridged version. Victor Hugo wrote thoroughly engaging story, fully describing the main characters. Wonderfully lengthy❣️

Love this story!

Love this story! My favorite part is about the bishop & how Jean Val Jean acquires the candlesticks. The narrator was phenomenal.
