Les Miserables
Victor Hugo
Blurb: He was no longer Jean Valjean, but No. 24601.
Jean Valjean, an escaped convict, is determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are threatened by the relentless investigations of the dogged policeman Jarvert when, owing to a case of mistaken identity, another man is arrested in his place.
It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty. Victor Hugo's epic tale of injustice, heroism and love is a timeless classic, not to be missed.
