Misérables, Les (Abridged)

Les Misérables is set in Paris after the French Revolution.

In the sewers and backstreets we encounter `the wolf-like tread of crime¿, and assassination for a few sous is all in a day¿s work. We weep with the unlucky and heart-broken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert.
