Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the work follows ex-convict Jean Valjean's struggle for redemption as his life intertwines with other characters in turbulent France. Hugo examines law and grace, justice and mercy, exploring the depths of human misery and the possibility of transformation from darkness to light, from despair to hope.
