book three3~ les miserables ~


the story Les Misérables has many parts, but the thread that binds them together is the story of the ex-convict Jean Valjean who becomes a force for good in the world, but cannot escape his past. The story starts in 1815, in Toulon. After five years of imprisonment in the bagne of Toulon for stealing bread for his starving sister and her family, and fourteen more for numerous attempts to escape, the peasant called Jean Valjean is released, and he begin his new life. but at the beginning, he was not that good because he kept steal people's thing. but after that he regrect and was planning to say sorry to the people that he has stolen things from. and later he marry and has children and so on. i have read this book before, but it was chinese. and i think this was very famous novel in 19th century because everybody know it. anyway, this is a book about a sad story, and i always read sad story, so it's ok for me.
