Misérables, Volume 4

by Victor Hugo

This volume of Victor Hugo's epic novel, *Les Misérables*, focuses on Jean Valjean's journey as an ex-convict seeking a new life free from his past. Despite his efforts to build a good life, he is relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert, who represents the harshness of the law and the unforgiving nature of society. Valjean's struggles are interwoven with the burgeoning revolution in Paris, the complexities of love and family, and the social injustices faced by the impoverished. Through these trials, Valjean's character is tested, and his journey to redemption is explored in depth. This volume delves into themes of justice, mercy, social change, and the enduring power of love amidst adversity.
