    Les Miserables: A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation, Hörbuch, Digital, 340min
    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. Language: English. Narrator: Joss Ackland, Roger Allam, full cast. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rhuk/001992/bk_rhuk_001992_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Les Miserables. Die Elenden
    Frankreich im 19. Jahrhundert, das ist "Monte Christo", und das sind "Les Misérables" Jean Valjean, für den Diebstahl eines Brotes als junger Mann zur Galeere verurteilt, kehrt nach neunzehn Jahren Bagno nach Frankreich zurück. Ein freundlicher Bischof nimmt ihn gastlich auf, und als Jean der neuerlichen Versuchung nicht widerstehen kann und seinem Wohltäter das Tafelsilber stiehlt, vertuscht dieser den Diebstahl vor der Polizei, indem er Jean noch zwei silberne Leuchter dazuschenkt. Überwältigt von soviel Güte, beschließt Valjean, fortan ein anständiges Leben zu führen. Er baut sich unter falschem Namen eine neue Identität auf, gründet mit dem Erlös aus den Silbersachen eine bald prosperierende Glasfabrik, wird ein vermögender Mann und gibt sein Vermögen für die Unterstützung armer und entrechteter Menschen aus. So setzt er auch alles daran, die todkranke Fantine, eine junge Arbeiterin, und ihre kleine Tochter Cosette zu retten. Doch da holt ihn die Vergangenheit in Gestalt des Polizeiinspektors Javert ein, der seine wahre Identität herausgefunden hat ...

    Les Misérables (eBook, ePUB)
    Les Miserables is the great epic masterpiece of the mid-nineteenth century. Begun in 1845, the year Louis Philippe conferred a peerage and a lifetime seat in the Senate upon Victor Hugo, it was completed when the author was living in exile in the Channel Islands. Les Miserables is a product as well as a document of the political, social, and religious upheaval that followed the Napoleonic Wars and Europe's great democratic revolutions. The story is centered on Jean Valjean, a peasant who enters the novel a hardened criminal after nineteen years spent in prison for stealing a loaf of bread for the starving children of his sister. The path of Valjean's last twenty-five years, leading from the French provinces to the battlefield of Waterloo and the ramparts of Paris during the Uprising of 1832, introduces us to secret societies of revolutionaries and the vast world of the French lower classes. Jean Valjean's flight from the police agent Javert--the prototype of over a hundred years of fictional detectives--culminates in one of the most famous scenes in all literature, the chase through the sewers of Paris. Les Miserables sold out its large first printing in twenty-four hours and has remained enormously popular. This edition is the classic English translation of Hugo's friend Charles Wilbour, which appeared the same year the novel was published in France.

Jean Valjean (Richard Jordan - The Hunt for Red October), a handsome young woodcutter, is cruelly sent to prison for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family. Released from prison many years later, he faces freedom with an urge for revenge until he encounters the benevolent Bishop Myriel, who convinces him to become an honest man and to perform good deeds for others.

The Bastille has fallen, but Charles must return to Paris to help an old servant. Inevitably, Charles is arrested and sentenced to die for his family's crimes. All seems lost until Sydney Carton appears. His moment has come, and at last he has the chance to redeem himself, to make up for a wasted life of drunkenness and dissipation in one act of supreme self-sacrifice for the woman he loves.The Woman in White (1997) - A classic tale of mystery, conspiracy and abduction.
