Focus on the Family Presents - Les Miserables




Audio CD - Les Miserables

Presented by: Focus on the Family

This 3 CD set has a running time of 169 minutes.

This beautiful story has a setting in 19th century France.  It is based on a classic novel by Victor Hugo (A French writer in the 1800's).  

This audio adaptation is fascinating and a delight to hear.  It was recorded in London and has a professional cast who did an incredible job. 

The main character in the story is Jean Valjean.  He is an ex-convict who cannot ever escape his past.  No matter what he tries to do in life, he seems to be always hunted and accused, because he was once a prisoner.   In the beginning, he meets with a kind couple whose hospitality and compassion help him make a new start in life.  Eventually, he builds up a new reputation, under a new name, and has a tremendous influence for good in his community.  His riches, and charity in life are amazing. But what is most precious, is his unselfish character and actions. 

This is an epic story, highly inspiring and an excellent production.  Listening to the story on audio CD was relaxing and a wonderful break from watching a movie on television.   I highly recommend this radio theater presentation.
