| Publisher Description: Les Mis rables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and backstreets we encounter "the wolf-like tread of crime," where assassination for a few coins is all in a day's work. We weep with the unlucky and heartbroken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades. But above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert. |
