About this listen

Les Misérables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and backstreets, we encounter "the wolf-like tread of crime", and assassination for a few sous is all in a day's work. We weep with the unlucky and heart-broken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert.

Very well narrated, one of the most amazing stories ever written. Les miserables is a terrific insight into French history. Two thirds of the book doesn't advance the plot, but it is a description of French life with amazing attention to detail.

It would be good if whisoersync for kindle was made available.
