He breaks his parole and assumes a new identity, eventually becoming a respected mayor and factory owner. Despite his attempts to live a virtuous life, he is relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert. Alongside this central conflict, the novel intertwines the stories of Fantine, a destitute woman whose daughter, Cosette, is rescued and raised by Valjean; the revolutionary student Marius; and the impoverished yet spirited street urchin, Gavroche.
