Description

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
In one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century, Victor Hugo introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters as they navigate the harsh and unforgiving streets of Paris through life, love and death. Hugo chronicles and criticises the political and social changes of his time through his memorable heroes, including Jean Valjean, the noble peasant unjustly incarcerated, and Fantine the prostitute, left to her own devices in a ruthless world. Les Mis, as its fans call it, has enduring appeal, and has inspired countless adaptations, including an immensely popular Broadway play and Hollywood movie.
