Read Los miserables, tomo 2 in Spanishwith every sentence explained

Los miserables, tomo 2 by Victor Hugo was first published in 1862. In Passage you read the full text in Spanish, marked advanced and filed under historical fiction.

Paris, 1832. A young love, an old secret, and a city on the edge of revolt.

The second half of Victor Hugo's masterpiece opens in the Paris underworld, where the Patron-Minette gang prowls the streets and the scheming Thénardier sets a trap for a mysterious benefactor. That benefactor is Jean Valjean, the former convict who lives under a false name with his adopted daughter, Cosette.

Cosette is grown now, and Marius, an idealistic young student, has fallen in love with her. But Inspector Javert is never far away, and as students raise barricades in the streets, every character is drawn toward the same fateful night.

One of the most beloved novels ever written, and the inspiration for the musical that has thrilled audiences around the world for four decades.

Passage sets the book as a quiet, paginated reader in Spanish. Read at your own pace, and when a sentence stops you, tap it. You get:

• a natural translation of that exact sentence,
• a short note on the grammar, in plain words,
• the key words, which you can save with the sentence they came from,
• all of it in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Turkish or Portuguese, whichever you read best.

It's marked advanced, with richer vocabulary and longer sentences. If it feels heavy, start with an intermediate Spanish book and come back to it. The words you save come back later in short review games, so the book keeps teaching after you close it.
