Summary | "In nineteenth-century France, life was hard for many people. Victor Hugo's famous book tells the story of Jean Valjean, who spends 19 years in prison for stealing bread. When Valjean leaves prison he starts a business and tries to become a better man, but Javert the policeman will do anything to stop him. Penguin Readers is a series of popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction and thought-provoking non-fiction, written for learners of English as a foreign language.
