Les Misérables Victor Hugo Les 5 tomes des Misérables en un seul volume ! Ce roman, un des plus populaires de la littérature française, a donné lieu à de nombreuses adaptations au cinéma. Victor Hugo y décrit la vie de misérables dans Paris et la France provinciale du 19e siècle et s'attache plus particulièrement aux pas du bagnard Jean Valjean qui n'est pas sans rappeler le condamné à mort du Dernier Jour d'un condamné ou Claude Gueux (ces deux textes en un volume chez Culture commune). C'est un roman historique, social et philosophique dans lequel on retrouve les idéaux du romantisme et ceux de Victor Hugo concernant la nature humaine. L'auteur lui-même accorde une grande importance à ce roman et écrit en mars 1862, à son éditeur Lacroix : " Ma conviction est que ce livre sera un des principaux sommets, sinon le principal, de mon œuvre ".

      Focus on the Family has again pulled out the stops in this dramatization of the Victor Hugo classic. The production is replete with excellent acting, crisp editing, and seamless sound production, making the entire program a veritable movie for the mind. Brian Blessed plays Jean Valjean, a criminal of circumstance transformed by love and kindness at the time of the French Revolution. Blessed reads the part with tremendous strength and emotion. Other cast members include Geoffrey Palmer as Inspector Javert, Leo McKern as Monsieur Gillenormand, and Gina Beck as Cosette, the girl who awakens love and hope for Valjean. Performers, production, and beautiful source material make this an extraordinary program. S.E.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine

      Jean Valjean, released from 19 years of hard labor for stealing a loaf of bread, transforms himself into a respected businessman known for his kindness and mercy. But his past haunts him in the form of a relentless inspector dedicated to returning him to prison. This full-cast production captures the poignancy of each character, the injustice of the French monarchy, and the redemptive power of faith and love. Copious music and special effects enrich the text but never overpower the vocals. The performances of each actor, up to the finest stage standards, vividly bring the story to life, particularly those of Henry Goodman as the smarmy con man, Tanadier, and Lee Cornwall as the child revolutionary, Gavroche. Joss Ackland, as Victor Hugo narrating the tale, ties the performance together with compassion and a sense of wisdom. R.P.L. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
