Les Misérables

Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, published in 1862, is a monumental historical and philosophical novel that spans from 1815 to the Paris Uprising of 1832. It explores themes of redemption and transformation through the life of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict seeking to overcome his troubled past. The narrative is rich with various subplots and digressions, all contributing to the central message of moving from evil to good and injustice to justice.
