A man walks out of prison after nineteen years for stealing a loaf of bread.

Every door in the first town he comes to closes in his face. He sleeps on a bench. He tries a kennel. He lies down in the public square in the cold.

And then one door opens.

What happens because that door opens is one of the greatest stories ever written: the story of Jean Valjean, who receives an act of extraordinary kindness from a bishop who looks past a yellow prison passport and sees a person, and who spends the rest of his life trying to become what the bishop believed he already was.

Les Misérables is the story of what happens when you take mercy seriously.

This Bergan Classics Enhanced Edition adapts Victor Hugo's famous novel for readers ages eight through eleven, covering the whole of the story in nine chapters: from the bishop's candlesticks to the years of hiding with young Cosette, from the Luxembourg Garden to the barricades of 1832 Paris, from the sewers to the small room with the candlesticks at the end. This is a story about a man who stole bread, and about a girl who needed a father, and about what it meant that one door opened when all the others were closed.

Every chapter includes Before You Read questions to warm up thinking before reading, Discussion Questions to deepen understanding after reading, and a Vocabulary List with twenty-five clearly defined words. A Dramatis Personae introduces the cast of this large and unforgettable story. The Historical Preface brings the revolutionary France of the early 1800s to life. Three recipes from the French kitchen of the era connect the world of the story to the reader's own.

For readers who have ever believed that kindness was worth something and wanted to know why: this is the book.
