<p>One of Victor Hugo's finest works, <i>Les Miserables</i> is a monumental classic dedicated to the oppressed, the underdog, the laborer, the rebel, the orphan, and the misunderstood. <i>Les Miserables</i>is a rich, emotional novel that captures nothing less than the entirety of life in nineteenth-century France. This great humanitarian work encourages compassion and hope in the face of adversity and injustice. It is also an historical novel of great scope, and provides a detailed vision of nineteenth-century French politics and society.  Sensational, dramatic, packed with rich excitement and filled with the sweep and violence of human passions, <i>Les Miserables</i> is not only a superb adventure, but a powerful social document. The story of how the convict, Jean-Valjean, struggles to escape his past and reaffirm his humanity, in a world brutalized by poverty and ignorance, became the gospel of the poor and the oppressed.</p><p>Optimized for Kindle devices and featuring Panel Zoom facility.</p><i><p>From its beginnings in the 1940’s to today, Classics Illustrated continues to encourage a love of reading and adventure in youthful minds through beautifully-illustrated comic book adaptations of the world’s most beloved stories by the world’s greatest authors.</p><p>A collection of Classics Illustrated books is an inviting start to any young person’s library.</p></i>
