Les Miserables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and back streets 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 heartbroken Fantine, and 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.

The gallows, the rack and angry mobs are part of the menace in this horrific novel set in 15th century Paris. Quasimodo, the kind-hearted, hunch-backed bell-ringer and the lovely La Esmaralda struggle to survive the brutality that surrounds them.

Set amid the riot, intrigue, and pageantry of medieval Paris, Victor Hugo's masterful tale of heroism and adventure has been a perennial favorite since its first publication in 1831.

Alla sua pubblicazione nel 1831, "Notre Dame de Paris", la prima opera di Victor Hugo, ebbe un successo immenso. Tutto il romanzo è molto più del semplice racconto di un intreccio di amori impossibili, come quello di Quasimodo - meglio conosciuto come il Gobbo di Notre Dame - per l'incantevole zingara Esmeralda, o quello tetro, lascivo e peccaminoso dell'arcidiacono Claude Frollo.

Un condenado a muerte anónimo decide escribir en una especie de diario las últimas horas de su vida. La incertidumbre, la soledad, la angustia y el terror se suceden en un relato que finaliza justo cuando la ejecución va a producirse. A través del sufrimiento del narrador, conel que llega a identificarse el lector, la novela niega cualquier valor positivo a la pena de muerte: es injusta, inhumana y cruel, y la sociedad que la aplica es responsable de un crimen como cualquier otro.

En el París del siglo XV, con sus sombrías callejuelas pobladas por desheredados de la fortuna y espíritus atormentados, la gitana Esmeralda, que predice el porvenir y atrae fatalmente a los hombres, es acusada injustamente de la muerte de su amado y condenada al patíbulo. Agradecido por el apoyo que en otro tiempo recibió de ella, Quasimodo, campanero de Nuestra Señora, de fuerza hercúlea y cuya horrible fealdad esconde un corazón sensible, la salva y le da asilo en la catedral." Nuestra Señora de París" ha dado lugar a numerosos libretos de ópera y a varias versiones cinematográficas.

Luego de estar en prisión por casi 20 años, Jean Valjean, un ex-convicto, llega a un pueblo donde nadie se digna a hospedarlo y a darle de comer, salvo por don Bienvenido, el párroco. Traicionando a su único protector, Valjean huye luego de robarle la cubertería de plata, aunque no logra ir muy lejos ya que es detenido por la policía. Su vida tiene un golpe de suerte cuando el párroco decide no denunciarlo ante las autoridades y le hace prometer que va a usar lo que ha tomado para hacerse un hombre de bien.

Der diabolische Priester "Claude Frollo" benutzt die Religion, um eigene Interessen zu verfolgen. Dessen Diener "Quasimodo" verliebt sich in die schöne "Esmeralda", die nur Augen für den Offizier "Phoebus" hat, aber leider mit dem erfolglosen Dichter "Peter Gringoire" verheiratet ist. Auf Basis dieser Ausgangssituation entfacht Victor Hugo ein dramatisches literarisches Feuerwerk, dass mit aberwitzigen Charakteren und Szenen sowohl Herz und Verstand inspiriert wie historisches Wissen vermittelt. Ganz großes Hörbuch-Kino!

Ein Mann wird zum Tode verurteilt. In einer Zelle wartet er auf die Vollstreckung seines Urteils. Was denkt er? Was fühlt er? In den letzten Wochen seiner irdischen Existenz reflektiert er den Gegenstand des rechtsstaatlich geregelten legalen Mordes. Nach wie vor von manchen Regierungen und Bevölkerungsteilen als angeblich human und gerecht deklariert, wird durch die Authentizität der Auseinandersetzung des Verfassers mit der Thematik vor Augen geführt, wie barbarisch und unmenschlich auch noch heutzutage unsere sogenannten Zivilisationen sich verhalten.

Un classico senza tempo. Un classico popolare. La grandiosa rivisitazione di una Parigi tardomedioevale in cui si mescolano lo spettrale profilo della basilica di Notre-Dame, abitata dal gobbo Quasimodo, e la notturna Corte dei Miracoli, dove risplende la bellezza di Esmeralda. Come in un grande melodramma, forze del bene e forze del male si scontrano facendo fulcro intorno all'attrazione, alla sensualità, all'innocenza della bella zingara.
