The story starts in 1815 in Digne (referred to as "D---" in the abridged version). The peasant Jean Valjean has just been released from imprisonment in the Bagne of Toulon after nineteen years (five for stealing bread for his starving sister and her family, and fourteen more for numerous escape attempts). Upon being released, he is required to carry a yellow passport that marks him as a prisoner, despite having already paid his debt to society by serving his time in prison. Rejected by innkeepers, who do not want to take in a convict, Valjean sleeps on the street. This makes him even angrier and more bitter. However, the benevolent Bishop Myriel, the bishop of Digne, takes him in and gives him shelter. In the middle of the night, he steals Bishop Myriel’s silverware and runs away. He is caught and brought back by the police, but Bishop Myriel rescues him by claiming that the silverware was a gift and at that point gives him his two silver candlesticks as well, chastising him to the police for leaving in such a rush that he forgot these most valuable pieces. After the police leave, Bishop Myriel then "reminds" him of the promise, which Valjean has no memory of making, to use the silver candlesticks to make an honest man of himself. Valjean broods over the Bishop's words. Purely out of habit, he steals a 40-sous coin from chimney-sweep Petit Gervais and chases the boy away. Soon afterwards, he repents and decides to follow Bishop Myriel's advice. He searches the city in panic for the child whose money he stole. At the same time, his theft is reported to the authorities, who now look for him as a repeat offender. If Valjean is caught, he will be forced to spend the rest of his life in prison, so he hides from the police.


-----------------------
Dans ce tome s'entremêlent deux destinées : celle de Fantine et celle de Jean Valjean.

Le livre commence par le portrait d'un évêque, Monseigneur Myriel. Il vit très chichement dans son diocèse de Digne en compagnie de sa sœur Baptistine et d'une servante, Madame Magloire. Ce religieux est un juste qui se contente du strict nécessaire pour distribuer le reste de ses économies aux pauvres. Doué d'un amour immense, il laisse sa porte grande ouverte et fraternise avec ceux que la société rejette.

Son destin va croiser celui du personnage central de l'œuvre : Jean Valjean.

Ce dernier est présenté comme un homme n'ayant pu échapper à un destin tragique : acculé par la faim, il en est réduit à voler un pain pour nourrir sa famille. Condamné initialement à cinq ans de bagne il voit sa peine prolongée à chacune de ses tentatives d'évasion. Au bout de dix-neuf ans il recouvre la liberté mais son passé de forçat, matérialisé par un passeport jaune qu'il doit faire reconnaître à la mairie de chaque ville qu'il traverse, le poursuit impitoyablement. Rejeté par tous, il doit son salut à la rencontre de Monseigneur Myriel qui lui offre la nourriture et le repos qu'il cherchait jusqu'alors en vain. Mais Jean Valjean déchiré par son passé, sous l'emprise d'un sentiment de haine et d'injustice et peu conscient de ses actes, vole l'argenterie de l'évêque. S'enfuyant par la fenêtre, il est repris par la gendarmerie, et ramené de force chez Monseigneur Myriel. Devant les gendarmes le religieux épargne Jean Valjean en leur faisant croire qu'il lui a offert son argenterie.

Transformé dans les Alpes, Jean Valjean reparaît à l'autre bout de la France, sous le nom de M. Madeleine. C'est une rédemption complète. M. Madeleine, enrichi honnêtement, est devenu le bienfaiteur puis le maire de la ville de Montreuil-sur-Mer.

Symétriquement à l'ascension de Jean Valjean, à son rachat pourrait-on dire, on assiste à la chute de Fantine, fille-mère qui pour nourrir sa fille unique, Cosette, ira de déchéance en déchéance, jusqu'à la prostitution et la mort.
