Les Misérables
Part 4 of 7
Cosette
by Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables follows Jean Valjean, a former prisoner seeking a new life, and the people whose lives become bound to his. Among them is Cosette, whose story brings themes of hardship, compassion, justice, and redemption into the heart of the novel.
This installment presents part of the story in radio-drama form, using spoken performance to bring Hugo’s characters and narrative to listeners. The title identifies this as the fourth part of a seven-part presentation, centered on Cosette.
The experience combines the sweep of a classic literary adaptation with the intimacy of a serialized broadcast. Its focus on human struggle and moral choice gives the story a serious, emotionally resonant tone.
