The book report of Les Miserables Les Miserables, a masterpiece of Victor Hugo, is set in France in the 1810s. It is considered as the most successful realistic novel in the 19th century. The novel centers on Jean Valjean's story and displays the spirit and revolution of France at that era which was full of demoralization and unjust. During that time, men were driven to crime by unfair law, children were bullied and the poor staved to death. People suffered from the enormous misery caused by the uneven of power and wealth and the gap between the poor and the entrepreneur had been deepened by the industrial revolution. Hugo unveiled the disorder of society and the greed and corruption in government through a series of stories which were honest and full of human concern. I would rather describe Hugo as a idealist than a realist. His novel showed the sin of us humanity combined with the lofty morality scattered in our society. Most of the characters from Les Miserables are delicated. Fantine sold her hair and front teeth in order to raise her daughter. Marius devoted himself into the revolution. All of them discarded their own fear and pursued a more nobel aim. As the saying goes, the human hymn is the hymn of courage. Hugo exalted the courage of devotion and the courage to persist and continue in the face of feelings of guilt of meaninglessness, which were absent from that era. Hugo's writing is brutally tough and savagely humorous and the characters are vivid and distinctive. Nevertheless, I didn't see much autonomy on Cosette. She was obedient to her father and husband. She went to England with her father even though she had already fallen in love with Marius. When Marius estranged her father, she did not show any resistance. She is a doll, a symbol of beauty. She is out of the cruel world, which makes her so unreal. What's more, The plot of the novel relies too much on coincidence to be realistic. The dramatic story makes it a book which is easy to read and spread. After all these years, Les Miserables is still a hot spot in the literary and art circles. It has been made into a movie which has won three Academy Awards. The enduring appeal of Les Miserables and other similar masterpieces reflects the remaining uneven and unjust in this world. The existence of discrimination and gap between classes generate series of confliction for centuries on end. The last few month have witnessed the huge racial campaign in America. People paraded and destroyed statues of slave owners as a symbol of destruction of racism. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the universe is getting even and the existing restrain will finally disappear with a wisp of smoke. Our world will eventually turn into a mixture of all culture and all races. And the world will be no more pathetic but harmony.
