Les Miserables

The Bishop


 “So long as these problems are not solved, so long as
ignorance and poverty remain on earth, these words cannot be
useless”. These words set forth the soul and spirit of one of the

compelling story, one that will live so long as bewildered
humanity shall continue to grope towards the light. The Bishop is
