Sinopsis

Ninety-Three tells of the counter-revolutionary revolts in 1793 during the French Revolution. It is divided into three parts, and each part tells a different story, offering a different view of historical general events. The action mainly takes place in Brittany and in Paris. 
Les Misérables is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters, particularly the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption. Examining the nature of law and grace, the novel elaborates upon the history of France, the architecture and urban design of Paris, politics, moral philosophy, antimonarchism, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love. Les Misérables has been popularized through numerous adaptations for film, television and the stage, including a musical.

    It is the fifteenth century, and the tumultuous Hundred Years' War rages 
     on. France is under siege, English soldiers tear through the  
    countryside destroying all who cross their path, and Charles VII, the  
    uncrowned king, has neither the strength nor the will to rally his army. 
     And in the quiet of her parents' garden in Domrémy, a peasant girl sees 
     a spangle of light and hears a powerful voice speak her name. Jehanne.The story of Jehanne d'Arc, the visionary and saint who believed she  
    had been chosen by God, who led an army and saved her country, has  
    captivated our imagination for centuries. But the story of Jehanne—the  
    girl—whose sister was murdered by the English, who sought an escape from 
     a violent father and a forced marriage, who taught herself to ride and  
    fight, and who somehow found the courage and tenacity to persuade first  
    one, then two, then thousands to follow her, is at once thrilling,  
    unexpected, and heartbreaking. Rich with unspoken love and battlefield  
    valor, The Maid is a novel about the power and uncertainty of faith, and the exhilarating and devastating consequences of fame.
