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.

Fantastic novel. The greatest of the 19th century?Goes on a bit about not very interesting subjects like the history of French convents but even these reflective sections are brilliant in parts. Well read despite above comments!

Sublime despite Pantomime voice for young females!

Compelling, captivating, engrossing best classic I've listen to. Theatre/drama productions fails such an amazing story!

Normally it takes me a while to get into a book, but this one certainly captures me at the beginning very soon. Yes, it's long, but you will want to carry on, and I wept the most at the end... Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
