Les Misérables
by Victor Hugo ~ From Page to Screen
"Immortalized in popular culture through stage and film adaptations, Victor Hugo's sprawling 1862 novel chronicles the struggles of former convict Jean Valjean and his relentless pursuit by Inspector Javert. A thrilling tale of narrow escapes, romance inthe midst of a revolution, and heroism at Waterloo, the story forms a parable of a morally empty state that values retribution rather than justice."
