Deep dive into one of the greatest epic novels ever written by celebrated French romantic writer, Victor Hugo.

Questioning justice, redemption, mercy, and religious authority, 'Les Misérables' is set during the Enlightenment at an age when rebellion was rife across Europe as the masses questioned the monarch's define right to rule.

Painting a dramatic picture of the 1832 June rebellion in Paris, 'Les Misérables' is a raw and emotional account of the entwined fates of ex-convict Jean Valjean, police inspector Javert, struggling factory worker Fantine, and her daughter Cosette.

When a shake-up of an entire social system is brewing, even the most honourable must face up to the meaning and making of life...

Adapted into one of the longest-running musicals in the world, Victor Hugo's 'Les Misérables' has since made it onto the silver screen in the Academy Award-Winning musical drama of the same name, starring Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway.

Ideal for fans of Ken Follett's majestic historical family saga, 'The Century Trilogy'.
