This is the second and last part of the original book and continues from where the first part has finished. The original plot goes like this In 19th-century France, Jean Valjean, who for decades has been hunted by the ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole. Despite this rather simple story line the book delves in to some deep moral issues. A quarter of the book is allocated to the thoughts of the author on moral issues. The book is one of the most important literary fictions of the 19th century and was adapted to many plays musicals and movies. Despite this fame, at the time of its publication it received very negative reviews.
