Book Overview

Marius and Cosette's union is strained by Valjean's sudden plan to leave the country and the growing tension between the disillusioned students and national government. The couple struggles to navigate the unstable social and political climate.

Following a close call with Inspector Javert, Jean Valjean plans to leave France for England. He informs Cosette, who is heartbroken, as she's still in love with Marius. The young man attempts to take her hand in marriage but is sidetracked by social conventions that require his family's blessing. Marius is also pulled into a student revolt which has taken over the city's streets. A revolution has begun, and everyone is forced to choose a side.

Les Misérables Volume Four is an action-heavy entry in Victor Hugo's enduring story. Characters and ideals collide during a volatile exchange that shifts the direction of the entire series. This is one part of a captivating tale that's been adapted multiple times for stage, television and film. The most notable being the 2012 Oscar-winning production from director, Tom Hooper.

About Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was the son of a high-ranking officer in Napoleon Bonaparte's Grand Army. A man of literature and politics, he participated in vast changes as France careened back and forth between empire and more democratic forms of government. As a young man in Paris, he became well-known and sometimes notorious for his poetry, fiction, and plays. In 1845, the year that he began writing his masterwork, Les Misérables, the king made him a peer of France, with a seat in the upper legislative body. There he advocated universal free education, general suffrage, and the abolition of capital punishment. When an uprising in 1848 ushered in a republic, he stopped writing Les Misérables and concentrated on politics. But in 1851, when the president proclaimed himself emperor, Hugo's opposition forced him into a long exile on the British Channel Islands. There, in 1860, he resumed work on Les Misérables, finishing it the next year. With the downfall of the emperor in 1870, Hugo returned to France, where he received a hero's welcome as a champion of democracy. At his death in 1885, two million people lined the streets of Paris as his coffin was borne to the Pantheon. There he was laid to rest with every honor the French nation could bestow.
