Les Misérables
« Il y a dans notre civilisation des heures redoutables ; ce sont les moments où la pénalité prononce un naufrage », écrit Victor Hugo au sujet de Jean Valjean. Acculé par la pauvreté, l'homme vole un pain pour nourrir les siens et passe dix-neuf ans au bagne ! À sa sortie, rejeté de tous, haineux envers la société, il n'a qu'une issue : retomber dans le crime. Mais une rencontre providentielle l'en détourne. Jean Valjean trouvera-t-il le salut espéré ? Traqué sans relâche par le policier Javert, parviendra-t-il à échapper à son passé ? Roman à suspens, récit réaliste, critique sociale et fresque épique, le chef-d'oeuvre de Victor Hugo dessine le chemin de croix d'une « humanité souffrante » qui, de « misérable », devient « sublime ».

Victor Hugo
Victor-Marie Hugo, vicomte Hugo (French: [viktɔʁ maʁi yɡo] ; 26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a French Romantic author, poet, essayist, playwright, journalist, human rights activist and politician.
His most famous works are the novels The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831) and Les Misérables (1862). In France, Hugo is renowned for his poetry collections, such as Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles (The Legend of the Ages). Hugo was at the forefront of the Romantic literary movement with his play Cromwell and drama Hernani. His works have inspired music, both during his lifetime and after his death, including the opera Rigoletto and the musicals Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris. He produced more than 4,000 drawings in his lifetime, and campaigned for social causes such as the abolition of capital punishment and slavery.
Although he was a committed royalist when young, Hugo's views changed as the decades passed, and he became a passionate supporter of republicanism, serving in politics as both deputy and senator. His work touched upon most of the political and social issues and the artistic trends of his time. His opposition to absolutism, and his literary stature, established him as a national hero. Hugo died on 22 May 1885, aged 83. He was given a state funeral in the Panthéon of Paris, which was attended by over two million people, the largest in French history.
