"Les Misérables" follows the life of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict seeking redemption after serving 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread. After his release, he struggles to escape his past and assumes a new identity to build a better life. However, persistent Inspector Javert, who believes in strict justice, relentlessly pursues him. Set against the backdrop of a turbulent France, the story intertwines the lives of various characters, including the impoverished Fantine and her daughter Cosette, exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and the quest for justice. Ultimately, Valjean’s journey is one of compassion and transformation amidst societal strife. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
