"I'd like to steal you away. I've loved you since the moment I saw you. Don't you believe in love at first sight?"

Les Misérables is one of the world's masterpieces of storytelling. It has enthralled audiences worldwide as a great novel....as a major motion picture starring Liam Neeson....and as a blockbuster musical play.

Against the stirring background of the French Revolution, we follow the tale of Jean Valjean as he encounters first the savage injustice of the law, and then the gentleness and grace of God.

All of Hugo's memorable, vivid characters are here. Cosette, the child who awakens tenderness and love in the heart of an ex-convict. Javert, enforcer of the law, who pursues his prisoner without mercy. Fantine, the devoted mother. Thenardier, the rascally innkeeper. Eponine, a street-girl with a heart of gold. Gavroche, the Parisian urchin. Marius, a teenager in love, yet also a radical campaigner on fire for social justice.

The story depicts events like the battle at the barricade and a heroic rescue through the underworld of Paris. But although it deals with mighty themes, the truly epic nature of the story lies in the insights and glimpses Victor Hugo gives us of a human soul.

The tale that has thrilled countless millions comes to life in a brand new way in Focus on the Family® Radio Theatre's Les Misérables. This audio drama beautifully portrays the redeeming power of forgiveness. Recorded in London with some of England's finest actors, it will mesmerize adults and families alike.
