Used Book – Les Misérables, Victor Hugo, M. Morize

Of course, you know Gavroche, the Parisian street urchin, with his hands in the pockets of oversized trousers, his cheekiness, and his songs! His familiar image has become a symbol of the city that shelters him: Paris. But it was in Victor Hugo's novel, Les Misérables, that he first roamed the streets. An abandoned street child who nevertheless comes to the aid of the oppressed, scorned but joyful, insolent but sensitive, he is one of the most endearing characters in French literature. Through the tragic fate of this "great little soul," Victor Hugo pleads the cause of all unfortunate children.
