Les Misérables (Otverzhennye)

One of the best novels of the classic of world literature. Jean Valjean, Cosette, Gavroche — the names of the characters in the novel have long become household names, and the number of its readers has not diminished over the one and a half centuries since the book was published; the novel does not lose its popularity. A kaleidoscope of faces from all layers of French society in the first half of the 19th century, vivid, memorable characters, grotesque and romance, sentimentality and realism, a tense, gripping plot — these are the main reasons for the success of Hugo's book and also the main reasons for its frequent adaptation in world cinema.
