Les Misrables is one of the best-known novels of the nineteenth century. Taking place in the years during and after the Napoleonic wars, it follows the lives of several characters, particularly the ex-convict Jean Valjean, who struggles for redemption. In this sweeping story, Hugo expounds upon history, architecture, religion, and politics. Harper's wrote that " Its style is meretricious. Yet its interest and skill and brilliancy are undeniable. Hugo is a consummate literary artist."
