 In Victor Hugo’s epic story of good, evil, love and faith, the hero Jean Valjean saves the life of his nemesis, Inspector Javert. Javert had pursued him for years after Valjean steals bread to feed his family.

In the play’s defining moment, Javert cannot accept the truth of Valjean’s goodness and kills himself rather than accept that his institutional thinking was imperfect and flawed. Conversely, Valjean’s acceptance of grace and pursuit of truth saves his family, business and legacy.

 Maupassant's second novel, Bel-Ami (1885), is the story of a ruthlessly ambitious young man (Georges Duroy, christened 'Bel-Ami' by his female admirers) making it to the top in fin-de-siecle Paris. It is a novel about money, sex, and power, set against the background of the politics of the French colonization of North Africa. It explores the dynamics of an urban society uncomfortably close to our own and is a devastating satire of the sleaziness of contemporary journalism.
