Title: An Old Favourite Revisited
Review: First published in 1862 Les Miserables is widely regarded as one of the finest novels of the 19th century and covers the years 1815-1832, a turbulent period in French history. The development of the character of main protagonist Jean Valjean from ex-convict to redeemed wealth is riveting. His interaction with the other players in the novel, noticeably policeman Javert, is absorbing, while the love element, both romantic and familial is touching and sensitively handled. This is a must read for first timers and worth a revisit for those who are familiar with the plot. It should enjoy renewed popularity with the release of the film starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway
