Les Misérables tells the story of French peasant, Jean Valjean, who when we are introduced to him is currently prisoner number 24601 spending nineteen years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread. "Five years for what you did. The rest because you tried to run.", as explained by ruthless police inspector, Javert. During Valjean's story, you'll become absorbed with lots of other Les Mis characters all trying to cope with the danger and uncertainty of living in revolutionary France.
