Les Miserables And Victor Hugo

Without a doubt, Les Misérables has the most well-known pitch in the history of literature. Better still, it made its author the people’s spokesman.

How and why is this text still so important?

This documentary aims to introduce us to those who recognise themselves in Hugo, to tell us how Hugo made Les Misérables, and above all how Les Misérables made Hugo, the Hugo we know.
