Les Miserables Novel Free PDF Novel (1900) by Victor Hugo Unabridged (Full Five Volumes)













One of the greatest classic novels by Victor Hugo





Set in early 19th-century France, Les Misérables is the story of Jean Valjean, a French peasant, and his desire for redemption after serving nineteen years in jail for having stolen a loaf of bread for his sister's starving child.



In Les Misérables, Hugo asserts that love and compassion are the most important gifts one person can give another and that always displaying these qualities should be the most important goal in life.





Les Misérables is far more profound than Hugo's other books, for in it he came to grips with the social problems of his own day, which demanded much reflection upon the nature of society and, therefore, upon the nature of man. In 1830, the average life expectancy of a French worker's child was two years.
