Summary: "Les Misérables, v. 5/5: Jean Valjean" by Victor Hugo is a classic novel written in the mid-19th century. This volume is part of the larger narrative that traces the life of Jean Valjean, a former convict seeking redemption and grappling with the societal issues of his time. The text captures the tumultuous backdrop of post-revolutionary France, examining themes of justice, love, sacrifice, and the struggles of the impoverished. The opening of this volume introduces the reader to the setting of the June 1848 insurrection, featuring two significant barricades that symbolize the fight against social injustice.
