Les Misérables 4 CD Set

Les Misérables is a seven-part radio series broadcast July 23 – September 3, 1937, on the Mutual Network. Orson Welles adapted Victor Hugo's novel, directed the series and starred as Jean Valjean. The 22-year-old Welles developed the idea of telling stories with first-person narration on the series, which was his first job as a writer-director for radio.

 “As long as these problems are not solved, so long as ignorance and poverty remain on earth, these words cannot be useless.” -Victor Hugo, author
