    About this audiobook

    Les Misérables is a French historical novel by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century.
    In the English-speaking world, the novel is usually referred to by its original French title. However, several alternatives have been used, including The Miserables, The Wretched, The Miserable Ones, The Poor Ones, The Wretched Poor, The Victims and The Dispossessed. Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters, particularly the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption.

    Victor Hugo

    Victor Hugo (Besançon, 1802-París, 1885) es quizá el escritor más representativo de las letras francesas del siglo xix. De vocación temprana, comenzó su andadura literaria con Odas y poesías diversas (1822), su primera obra poética. Muy pronto fue considerado el jefe de las filas del Romanticismo francés y sus obras encontraron un reconocimiento generalizado debido, fundamentalmente, al virtuosismo de su prosa y a la elección de unos argumentos en los que se entremezclan a la perfección lo misterioso y sobrenatural con la denuncia social más inteligente y certera. Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran Las orientales (1829), Nuestra señora de París (1830), Ruy Blas (1838), Los miserables (1862) o Los trabajadores del mar (1866), además de un buen número de obras teatrales, poemas, ensayos históricos y discursos políticos. Victor Hugo murió el 22 de mayo de 1885 a causa de una pulmonía. Su ataúd permaneció durante varios días bajo el arco del triunfo, donde se dice que fue visitado por cerca de tres millones de personas.
