Publisher's Summary: Jean Valjean, the central character of Hugo's sweeping novel, is one of society's victims. A poor but honest peasant, he stole a loaf of bread to feed his sister's starving family and ended up in prison. By the time of his eventual release, he has become a hardened criminal, but his friendship with the saintly Monseigneur Bienvenu gives him another chance at life. This new, respectable life is precarious, for Valjean is still sought by the law, in the person of the implacable Inspector Javert. This is the backdrop against which Hugo sets his masterpiece of adventure, rebellion, and human redemption. Christopher Cazenove's passionate reading brings Hugo's memorable characters to vivid life. |
