Book name: Les Misérables Author: Victor Hugo Publication date: 2012 Book classification: Novel Publisher: Arab Cultural Center Number of pages: 456 Almost no language in the world is free from more than one translation of Victor Hugo's masterpiece "Les Misérables," and it is difficult to count the number of times it has been performed on stage. Every time, it attracts millions of people who have seen or read it multiple times. Since 1863 until today, "Les Misérables" continues to be read at an increasing pace, and if the reader tries to reread it once more, or even a third time, they will realize what they missed, because "Les Misérables" is not just a cleverly crafted and captivating plot. It is a novel of human greatness in facing the harshest circumstances, a novel of overflowing feelings of love and beauty. As much as it is a deep dive into the human soul with all its humility and elevation, and what it contains of injustice and justice, and strength and weakness. This novel introduced us to Paris as we have never known it before, and to a stage of history that followed the great French Revolution of 1789 and its most influential repercussions in shaping the modern world. This revolution, despite setbacks, pains, and sacrifices, clung to the slogans of brotherhood, equality, and freedom. It also introduced us to models of human characters that are hard to forget. The reader of "Les Misérables" will never forget what Fantine endured to make her daughter happy, nor what Jean Valjean suffered to transform from a convict sentenced to hard labor into a man filled with goodness and love, nor what Marius and Cosette endured as their love blossomed.
