Les Miserables: 5 Volumes in Total (Illustrations from the Famous Translation Series)

It is Hugo's most important work. In this novel, Hugo depicts the historical aspect from Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo to the popular uprising against the July Monarchy, and draws a large-scale picture of social and political life. The book describes the tragic experiences of the three central characters: the fugitive Jean Valjean, the street woman Fantine, and her daughter Cosette. It profoundly reveals the inevitable fate that kind and simple working people in capitalist society are destined to be oppressed, discriminated and humiliated, and angrily condemns and accuses the reasons for all these unreasonable and unfair phenomena.
