Read

"Kurjat II: Cosette" by Victor Hugo is a French epic historical novel published in 1862. Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the novel follows several interconnected lives, particularly ex-convict Jean Valjean's struggle for redemption. Through their stories, Hugo examines law and grace, justice and mercy, poverty and social condemnation. The work explores the lives of France's most downtrodden citizens, charting a journey from darkness to light, from injustice to justice, from despair to hope.
