"De Ellendigen (Deel 3 van 5)" by Victor Hugo is a French epic historical novel first published in 1862. Set between 1815 and the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, it follows ex-convict Jean Valjean's journey toward redemption alongside other interconnected characters. The novel examines law and grace, justice and morality, while exploring France's history, Parisian architecture, politics, religion, and various forms of love. Hugo drew inspiration from real incidents he witnessed and extensive research into prisons, industries, and working-class life to create this monumental work about society's most downtrodden members.
