Jean Valjean serves nineteen years in the galleys for stealing a loaf of bread, is handed a bishop’s silver instead of being denounced, and spends the rest of his life trying to become an honest man while Inspector Javert follows him. Around that pursuit Victor Hugo assembles a whole society: Fantine, her daughter Cosette, the Thénardiers, the student Marius, the street child Gavroche, and the barricades of June 1832.

Hugo worked at the book for the better part of twenty years, much of it in exile on Guernsey, and published it in five parts in 1862. It is a novel, a moral argument and a history of Paris at once — Waterloo, the convent, the sewers, the language of thieves — and it stops for all of them.

This edition uses the English translation by Isabel Florence Hapgood, published in 1887. Because of its length the complete text is issued in three matching volumes.
