Los miserables (t�tulo original en franc�s: Les mis�rables) es una novela del pol�tico, poeta y escritor franc�s Victor Hugo publicada en 1862, considerada como una de las obras m�s conocidas del siglo XIX. La novela, de estilo rom�ntico, plantea a trav�s de su argumento un razonamiento sobre el bien y el mal, sobre la ley, la pol�tica, la �tica, la justicia y la religi�n. El autor confes� que se hab�a inspirado en Vidocq, criminal franc�s que se redimi� y acab� inaugurando la Polic�a Nacional francesa, para crear a los dos protagonistas y que la historia de su pa�s le hab�a inspirado para situar el contexto hist�rico: por ello, los personajes viven la Rebeli�n de junio (1832) y los posteriores cambios pol�ticos. Adem�s, el autor analiza los estereotipos de aquel momento y muestra su oposici�n a la pena de muerte. En su n�cleo, al fin, la novela sirve como una defensa de los oprimidos sea cual sea el lugar o situaci�n sociohist�rica que vivan.

About the Author:

The best-known of the French Romantic writers, Victor Hugo was a poet, novelist, dramatist, and political critic. Hugo was an avid supporter of French republicanism and advocate for social and political equality, themes that reflect most strongly in his works Les Mis?rables, Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame), and Le Dernier jour d'un condamn? (The Last Day of a Condemned Man). Hugo's literary works were successful from the outset, earning him a pension from Louis XVIII and membership in the prestigious Acad?mie fran?aise, and influencing the work of literary figures such as Albert Camus, Charles Dickens, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Elevated to the peerage by King Louis-Philippe, Hugo played an active role in French politics through the 1848 Revolution and into the Second and Third Republics. Hugo died in 1885, revered not only for his influence on French literature, but also for his role in shaping French democracy. He is buried in the Panth?on alongside Alexandre Dumas and ?mile Zola.
