Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

NThe official hardcover tie-in to the Columbia Pictures film to be released in February, starring Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush, Uma Thurman, and Claire Danes. In this story of the trials of the peasant Jean Valjean - unjustly imprisoned, baffled by destiny, and hounded by his nemesis, the magnificently realized, ambiguously malevolent police detective Javert - Victor Hugo achieved the rare imaginative resonance that allows a work of art to transcend its genre. "Les Miserables" is at once a thriller that contains one of the most compelling chase scenes in literature (a pursuit through the sewers of Paris), an epic portrayal of the 19th-century French citizenry, and a vital drama of the redemption of one human being | Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
