His future is threatened by his nemesis, the chilling police officer and former prison guard Javert, who is determined to bring him to justice. Meanwhile Fantine, a working class woman abandoned by her rich lover, is driven to increasingly desperate measures to provide for her young daughter. Their stories collide and as revolutionary violence ignites on the streets of Paris, Jean Valjean begins his journey towards self-acceptance, redemption and love. An encounter with the wise bishop of Digne forces Jean Valjean to consider his own morality. Fantine leaves Paris to find work and must make a heart-breaking decision on her way. Jean Valjean forges a new identity, and Javert is determined to catch him out Notes Title from resource description page (viewed May 18, 2022) In English Subject Ex-convicts -- France -- 19th century -- Drama Orphans -- France -- 19th century -- Drama Poor -- France -- 19th century -- Drama Police -- France -- 19th century -- Drama Ex-convicts.
