Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables is a French epic historical novel published in 1862. It spans from 1815 to the culmination in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, following ex-convict Jean Valjean as he confronts the possibility of redemption. Set in nineteenth-century France, the story uses interconnected characters to examine questions about law, justice, and grace, while also focusing on poverty and the search for dignity. Through the struggles and relationships of people living on society’s margins, the novel reflects on love and compassion amid social hardship, leading up to the political upheaval of the June Rebellion in Paris.
