Set in the Parisian underworld of the early nineteenth century, Les Misérables follows the adventures of Jean Valjean, once an honest peasant, who spent nineteen years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister’s starving family.

A hardened and bitter criminal upon his release, Valjean is transformed when an act of compassion by a priest, whom he robbed, saves him from returning to prison. Changing his identity and his ways, Valjean becomes a successful industrialist and eventually the town mayor.

Taking compassion on the poor, he raises the orphaned daughter of a prostitute as his own, never telling her of his shady past. Yet he is haunted by it, still pursued relentlessly by the police inspector Javert, who does not believe in moral redemption.

When Valjean’s daughter, Cosette, falls in love with a young revolutionary, Javert concocts a plot to catch both the lawless peasants and the elusive Valjean once and for all.

Full of suspense, romance, and powerful social commentary, this sweeping epic became the gospel of the oppressed and is widely considered one of the greatest French novels of its age.

Gripping tale, full of fascinating insights into 19th-century France and life generally, Hugo was a genius. The book is excellently performed by Davidson.

Best book ever

Er is een fout opgetreden. Probeer het over een paar minuten opnieuw.
It is easier to get through with the audio book than with the actual book. Partly because of the sher size of the book, and due to the fact that Victor Hugo packed so much into this book, apart from the actual story line.
You need a break from this though, every once a while listening, because you can't hear this cassualy, or you'll loose the thread.
The narrator takes some getting used to. He does not do a bad job, but you can't say he makes a bad one either. He just reads it. Not much variation in it. Might be part of the reason you have to take a break from this particular audiobook every once a while.

Besides quite extensive world building excursions Hugo makes with chapters going away from the main plot line the story hits close to home. Definitely worth taking time to listen. The narrator does a wonderful job, as he does with the Gulag Archipelago. After 120 hours of listening to him I almost feel like I know the man. Hehe.

One of the best '' classics '' I have read

der Vorleser ist leider absolut unverständlich und liest nicht mitreissend, sondern wirkt eher gelangweilt. Buch abgebrochen, Fehlkauf.

unverständlich und unmotiviert
