Book Overview

by Victor Hugo (Author), Mint Editions (Contribution by)

At the height of the student revolt, Valjean arrives at the barricade and saves multiple lives including Marius, who is still eager to find Cosette. Despite his family and Valjean's reservations, Marius is committed to marrying her.

Jean Valjean joins the revolt and finds the streets in disarray. He locates Marius who has been badly injured but is still alive. While attempting to bring Marius to safety, Valjean encounters a couple of dangerous figures from his past. Inspector Javert finds himself in a peculiar position where Valjean expresses mercy instead of vengeance. It's an unsuspecting act that challenges his outlook. Elsewhere, Marius heals and finally reunites with Cosette. The couple decides to get married but are blindsided by Valjean's unspoken truth.

Les Misérables Volume Five: Jean Valjean is a brilliant finale to one of the most revered novels of all-time. It is a compelling story marked by unforgettable characters. This is 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.
