Summary of Les Miserables

This book calls Les Miserables that was written by Victor Hugo. The story happened at France when Jean Valjean was twenty-five years old. He was a prisoner because he stolen a loaf of bread to his nephew. After nineteen years, he was released from prison, but he had unfair treatment since he was an ex-convict. He became an honest man and began a new life when he had bishop’s mercy. He promised Fantine to take care her daughter who was Cosette. In addition, Javert knew Jean Valjean who was and want to catch him. Jean Valjean escaped with Cosette to Paris, Cosette saw Marius and they fall in love. Jean Valjean saved Javert in crusade. After all, Marius and Cosette married. Marius and Cosette knew the truth when Jean Valjean near death. I already saw this book, I thought this story was pitiful and touching. I thought Jean Valjean was alone in his life because nobody knew his secret and he can’t talk to anyone. He love Cosette as her father but she did not know.
