Description

The story starts in 1815 in Digne (referred toas "D---" in the abridged version). The peasant Jean Valjean hasjust been released from imprisonment in the Bagne of Toulon afternineteen years (five for stealing bread for his starving sister andher family, and fourteen more for numerous escape attempts). Uponbeing released, he is required to carry a yellow passport thatmarks him as a prisoner, despite having already paid his debt tosociety by serving his time in prison. Rejected by innkeepers, whodo not want to take in a convict, Valjean sleeps on the street.This makes him even angrier and more bitter. However, thebenevolent Bishop Myriel, the bishop of Digne, takes him in andgives him shelter. In the middle of the night, he steals BishopMyriel’s silverware and runs away. He is caught and brought back bythe police, but Bishop Myriel rescues him by claiming that thesilverware was a gift and at that point gives him his two silvercandlesticks as well, chastising him to the police for leaving insuch a rush that he forgot these most valuable pieces. After thepolice leave, Bishop Myriel then "reminds" him of the promise,which Valjean has no memory of making, to use the silvercandlesticks to make an honest man of himself. Valjean broods overthe Bishop's words. Purely out of habit, he steals a 40-sous coinfrom chimney-sweep Petit Gervais and chases the boy away. Soonafterwards, he repents and decides to follow Bishop Myriel'sadvice. He searches the city in panic for the child whose money hestole. At the same time, his theft is reported to the authorities,who now look for him as a repeat offender. If Valjean is caught, hewill be forced to spend the rest of his life in prison, so he hidesfrom the police.


-----------------------
Dans ce tome s'entremêlent deux destinées : celle de Fantine etcelle de Jean Valjean.

Le livre commence par le portrait d'un évêque, MonseigneurMyriel. Il vit très chichement dans son diocèse de Digne encompagnie de sa sœur Baptistine et d'une servante, Madame Magloire.Ce religieux est un juste qui se contente du strict nécessaire pourdistribuer le reste de ses économies aux pauvres. Doué d'un amourimmense, il laisse sa porte grande ouverte et fraternise avec ceuxque la société rejette.

Son destin va croiser celui du personnage central de l'œuvre :Jean Valjean.

Ce dernier est présenté comme un homme n'ayant pu échapper à undestin tragique : acculé par la faim, il en est réduit à voler unpain pour nourrir sa famille. Condamné initialement à cinq ans debagne il voit sa peine prolongée à chacune de ses tentativesd'évasion. Au bout de dix-neuf ans il recouvre la liberté mais sonpassé de forçat, matérialisé par un passeport jaune qu'il doitfaire reconnaître à la mairie de chaque ville qu'il traverse, lepoursuit impitoyablement. Rejeté par tous, il doit son salut à larencontre de Monseigneur Myriel qui lui offre la nourriture et lerepos qu'il cherchait jusqu'alors en vain. Mais Jean Valjeandéchiré par son passé, sous l'emprise d'un sentiment de haine etd'injustice et peu conscient de ses actes, vole l'argenterie del'évêque. S'enfuyant par la fenêtre, il est repris par lagendarmerie, et ramené de force chez Monseigneur Myriel. Devant lesgendarmes le religieux épargne Jean Valjean en leur faisant croirequ'il lui a offert son argenterie.

Transformé dans les Alpes, Jean Valjean reparaît à l'autre boutde la France, sous le nom de M. Madeleine. C'est une rédemptioncomplète. M. Madeleine, enrichi honnêtement, est devenu lebienfaiteur puis le maire de la ville de Montreuil-sur-Mer.

Symétriquement à l'ascension de Jean Valjean, à son rachatpourrait-on dire, on assiste à la chute de Fantine, fille-mère quipour nourrir sa fille unique, Cosette, ira de déchéance endéchéance, jusqu'à la prostitution et la mort.
