Les Misérables (set of 2 books)

Having been released from prison, Valjean tries to change his life but faces the contempt of those around him. For Inspector Javert, a person's past is more important than their current actions: the policeman pursues the former convict, allowing no deviations from the law. Nearby unfolds the story of Fantine, who is forced to sacrifice herself for her daughter. The personal trials of the heroes intertwine with political disputes and the struggle on the Parisian barricades.
