Les Misérables - Volume 2
Victor Hugo
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables is a monumental tale of justice, love, sacrifice, and redemption, set against the turbulent backdrop of 19th-century France. This new translation of the original French text brings a fresh, contemporary voice to Hugo’s masterpiece, while staying faithful to the richness and emotional depth of the original.
