Years go by, and Jean and Cosette move out of the convent. Valjean moves with her to Paris and raises her in a convent to avoid Inspector Javert (who knows he is still alive). Once out, he tracks down and adopts Fantine's daughter Cosette, who's been living with some really nasty folks named Thénardier. After a really committed policeman named Inspector Javert tracks him down, Valjean ends up in prison again until he escapes from prison by faking his death. There's a problem, though: he's technically in breach of his parole because he's changed his name and taken on a new identity. He uses more than half his money to help the poor and can't stop doing good deeds, like promising a downtrodden prostitute named Fantine that he'll take care of her daughter after she dies. Jean Valjean becomes a rich factory owner and town leader, but he doesn't forget where he came from. Jean Valjean keep the silver if he promises to live a morally good life from now on.Ĭue life-altering transformation. If that weren't enough, the bishop lets the convict a.k.a. The bishop gives him a place to stay and even forgives him when he (the convict) robs the bishop of his nicest cutlery. (Well, his name is Myriel his title is Bishop.) One day, an ex convict wanders into the bishop's village and can't find any food or lodging because everyone turns him away.
The books opens by describing the life of a really upstanding dude named Bishop Myriel.
