Victor Hugo
Fantine is Part I of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, not a standalone novel. In post-1815 France, the paths of Jean Valjean, Fantine, a mother separated from her daughter Cosette, and Inspector Javert cross. Hugo connects poverty, work, dignity, mercy, and justice, exposing the mechanisms of social exclusion.
