Victor Hugo - Les Misérables - 1862

Superb complete set in three volumes linking five volumes of this monumental work that combines romantic narrative, historical fresco, and philosophical meditation — Complete (From Fantine to Jean Valjean).

Stunning separate volumes that follow the trajectory of Jean Valjean, a former convict seeking redemption, confronted by the inflexible Javert, and crossing paths with Cosette, Marius, Gavroche, and the Thénardiers.

Hugo explores the major social issues of the 19th century: misery, justice, education, revolt, and fraternity, placing his characters within the context of the Napoleonic wars, republican insurrections, and the transformations of French society.

The novel combines dramatic narration, historical digressions (Waterloo, the sewers of Paris, the life of convents), and moral reflections, constituting a romantic encyclopedia of the human condition.
