Summary: "Les Misérables, v. 1/5: Fantine" by Victor Hugo is a novel written in the early 19th century. The book introduces the profound themes of social justice, redemption, and the human condition, centering on the character of Jean Valjean, a former convict struggling for redemption amidst the harsh realities of post-Revolutionary France. The opening section lays the groundwork for exploring the lives of both the privileged and the downtrodden, revealing the intricate interplay between morality and society. The opening of "Les Misérables" presents M. Charles François Bienvenu Myriel, a compassionate bishop whose life is marked by profound acts of charity and selflessness. As he mingles with the townspeople and the sick, he transforms the episcopal palace into a refuge for the needy, embodying mercy and righteousness. The initial chapters delve into Myriel's past, his humble beginnings, and the choices that led him to embrace a life of service.
