"Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, when, owing to a case of mistaken identity, another man is arrested in his place; and by the relentless investigations of the dogged Inspector Javert. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty."

"Les Miserables is the story of Jean Valjean's transformation from criminal to hero, and his dedication to doing good in a world where harsh laws often thwart the most benevolent impulses. Imprisoned for nineteen years after stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister's starving family, Valjean is on the path to becoming a repeat offender when a charitable bishop's act of pity compels him to become an honest man. Over the next two decades, Valjean becomes a successful businessman and a generous benefactor to his orphan ward, Cosette. But the implacable Inspector Javert, who knows of Valjean's criminal past and who enforces the law mercilessly, hounds him from town to town, seeking to apply a standard of justice that does not acknowledge either redemption or rehabilitation. A vivid historical romance whose events climax spectacularly during the Paris Uprising of 1832, Les Miserables was praised by Upton Sinclair as one of the half-dozen greatest novels in the world. This unabridged version of Victor Hugo's classic work is as stirring a tale of adventure today as it was when first published in 1862."@en

Y, como su título indica, todo gira en torno a la palabra "miserable", pues Víctor Hugo distingue entre los miserables hijos de la degradación material, aquellos que nada tienen salvo su dignidad; y los miserables producto de la degradación moral, a los que ya nada les queda, pues han perdido incluso aquello que les hace hombres: su humanidad. A partir del protagonista, Jean Valjean, presidiario que se reencuentra a sí mismo y se convierte al bien, seguiremos la historia de muchos miserables de ambos tipos, que giran en fantástico torbellino, los unos luchando denodadamente por avanzar hacia la luz, los otros deslizándose sigilosamente hacia las tinieblas, que siempre, en el fondo, tiene un origen que hay que ir a buscar lejos de quien la sufre."
