What is Les Misérables about?

Imprisoned for stealing to feed his starving family, Jean Valjean is relentlessly pursued by the tenacious Inspector Javert after skipping parole. Years pass, and Valjean, now a successful and well-respected Parisian businessman, becomes entangled in an uprising after his daughter Cosette falls in love with Marius, a member of an idealist group with revolution on their mind.
