Les Misérables

The Bishop

Part 1 of 7

English · Historical Fiction, Drama

Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables follows Jean Valjean, a former prisoner seeking a new life, and the people whose paths become bound to his. Its world of poverty, justice, compassion, and social upheaval gives the story both intimate human stakes and a sweeping historical backdrop.

This radio adaptation presents the novel as a seven-part dramatic serial. The supplied installment is titled “The Bishop,” introducing a pivotal encounter from the opening of Valjean’s story. Spoken performance and radio sound bring Hugo’s prose and characters into an episodic listening experience.

The tone moves between hardship and hope, with moral choices at its center. Listeners can follow a classic tale of redemption and mercy as it unfolds in successive chapters.
