a greedy old moneylender. Surely the
murder of one worthless old woman
would be excused, even approved
of, if it made possible a thousand
good deeds? But this crime is just the
beginning of the story...
After spending nineteen years in

Jean Valjean is at last a free man. But

spends the rest of his life helping the
victims of poverty and social injustice.
