Sinopsis de LES MISERABLES: A BBC RADIO 4 FULL-CAST DRAMATISATION (AUDIOBOOK)
Joss Ackland, Roger Allam, and Leslie Phillips star in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Victor Hugo’s classic novel.
When poverty drives Jean Valjean to steal a loaf of bread from a baker’s window, it is an action that will haunt him for the rest of his life. A citizen of postrevolutionary France, he is sentenced to nineteen years’ hard labour. On his release his fortunes change, and he becomes a respectable businessman and member of society - and yet his past continues to dog him in the form of the sadistic Inspector Javert, who seems determined to pursue Valjean to the grave.
A student uprising is gaining momentum in Paris, and barricades are being built around the city. Valjean’s adopted daughter, Cosette, has fallen in love with the young revolutionary Marius, and the lives of all three are in peril unless they can flee to safety.
Some of the most significant moments in nineteenth century history form the backdrop for Victor Hugo’s powerful story, in which love and heroism march in the face of poverty and social injustice.

Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Victor Hugo
Besançon, (1802-1885). Víctor Hugo fue considerado el principal representante del romanticismo. Virtuoso de la escritura desde su infancia, Víctor Hugo proclamó el principio de la «libertad en el arte», y definió su tiempo a partir del conflicto entre la tendencia espiritual y el apresamiento en lo carnal del hombre. A lo largo de muchos años, compaginó su brillante producción literaria con su exitosa carrera política, por lo que se convirtió en uno de los personajes de mayor relevancia pública de su época en Francia. Considerado como uno de los mayores poetas franceses, su influencia posterior sobre Baudelaire, Rimbaud, e incluso Mallarmé y los surrealistas es innegable.
