Ellendigen - Deel 2 - Cosette

by Victor Hugo

De Ellendigen, een vertaling van Les Misérables, is een sociaal-realistische roman die de ellende van de armen in de 19e-eeuwse Franse samenleving belicht. Het verhaal volgt Jean Valjean, een veroordeelde die voortdurend worstelt met zijn verleden en met de meedogenloze wetten van de maatschappij. Hij probeert een nieuw leven op te bouwen, maar wordt voortdurend achtervolgd door zijn verleden en door de onrechtvaardigheid van de samenleving. Cosette, de dochter van de overleden Fantine, wordt door Valjean gered van een leven in armoede en vindt bij hem een warm en liefdevol thuis. De roman is een krachtig pleidooi voor sociale rechtvaardigheid en voor het belang van medemenselijkheid.
