Hugh Jackman, Academy Award winner Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway star in this critically-acclaimed adaptation of the epic musical phenomenon. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells the story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman), hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe), after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever. This enthralling story is a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit and "an unforgettable experience" (Richard Roeper, RichardRoeper.com).

Illustrated Edition (Unabridged and Annotated) [Kindle Edition]

This may well be the best novel I have ever read. I am comparing it to Anna Karenina and War and Peace which I recently finished. Previously, I had thought Michener's Hawaii and The Source were up there in the top 1 or two. But, the moral compass of this book, in spite of rather lengthy philosophical diversions from the storyline, was very strong. In the end, it was as moving as the musical upon which it is based. But, it takes work and time. When staying on task the story line is exciting and dramatic. His characters are so well and deeply drawn that they became a part of my psyche and of course, that level of familiarity and empathy is what in the end moved me.
