FATEFUL DECISIONS, FATAL CHOICES Jean Valjean has escaped his fate and, as mayor and factory owner, brought prosperity to the small town where he has settled. But when word comes that an innocent man may pay for his crimes, Valjean has to decide whether to save one life, the existence of his people, or his own soul. Valjean is already too late to rescue Fantine from her fate, but a Christmas Eve encounter with her daughter Cosette may just offer Valjean one last chance to do the right thing. Victor Hugo's immortal hymn to the human spirit continues!

Victor Marie Hugo (Besançon, France, 1802 - 1885) was a writer, poet, playwright, and French politician, a central figure of Romanticism and one of the most influential literary voices of the 19th century. His work includes emblematic novels such as Les Misérables (1862), which denounces social injustice in 19th century France, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831), which powerfully portrays life in medieval Paris. In theater, he revolutionized the genre with plays like Hernani (1830) and Cromwell (1827), while his poetry, highlighted in collections such as Les Contemplations (1856) and The Legend of the Centuries (1859-1883), combines lyricism and social commitment

Exiled for about 20 years due to his opposition to the regime of Napoleon III, he produced many of his most significant works during this period, also expanding his political work as a deputy and senator after his return. He was recognized with membership in the French Academy and the Legion of Honor. His literary and political legacy remains a benchmark for social justice and artistic expression.
