Description
Victor Hugo’s great work of turbulent times in early 19th Century France, as told through the experiences of the ex-convict, Jean Valjean.
When Jean Valjean is released from prison after years of cruel punishment for a simple misdemeanour, he finds adjusting to life outside the prison walls extremely hard, and the people hostile. Meanwhile, rage brews in the dark, poor underbelly of Paris… How will Valjean’s life collide with that of the revolutionary students of the slums? What about the beautiful, innocent Cosette?
Classics Illustrated tells this wonderful tale in colourful comic strip form, offering an excellent introduction for younger readers. This edition also includes a biography of Victor Hugo, theme discussions and study questions, which can be used both in the classroom and at home to further engage the reader in the story.
