Les Miserables
by Hugo, Victor
Considered one of the
greatest novels of the 19th century, Les Miserables (translated variously from
French as The Miserable Ones, The Poor Ones, The Wretched Poor, The Victims) is
a French historical novel by Victor Hugo. The story follows the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean from 1815 through the 1832 Rebellion in Paris. Les Miserables' beloved story of redemption encourages compassion and hope in the face of adversity and injustice. The epic novel is divided in
five volumes, each of which is divided into several books and subdivided into
chapters, totaling 48 books and 365 chapters. Les Miserables, as a whole, is one
the longest novels ever written with about 1,500 pages in unabridged English
editions and 1,900 pages in French.
Les Misérables is known to many through its numerous stage and screen adaptations, such as the stage musical of the same name, sometimes abbreviated "Les Mis".
First Edition Identification
