Description:

This is the 2003 Turkish edition of Les Misérables (Sefiller), published by ÜBL Yayıncılık. Written by Victor Hugo and first published in 1862, the novel is one of the most important works of 19th-century world literature and a defining example of French Romanticism.

The story follows Jean Valjean, a former convict who seeks redemption after years of imprisonment for stealing bread. Pursued relentlessly by Inspector Javert, Valjean attempts to rebuild his life while protecting Cosette, a young girl orphaned by poverty and social injustice. Set against the backdrop of post-revolutionary France, the novel weaves together multiple character arcs to portray a society shaped by inequality, moral struggle, and political unrest.

Victor Hugo is regarded as one of the greatest literary figures of France, known for his powerful narratives that combine social criticism with deep humanism. In Les Misérables, he exposes the harsh realities of poverty and injustice while emphasizing themes of compassion, redemption, and moral transformation. The novel remains a landmark in both literary and social history.

This 2003 ÜBL Yayıncılık edition offers a Turkish translation of this monumental work, making it accessible to contemporary readers. As a relatively modern Turkish printing of a classic masterpiece, it holds both literary significance and collectible interest, especially for readers building a complete classic literature collection.
