Gavroche

More about the book

"Eleven years old, perhaps twelve. He was seen wandering through Paris, always the same streets. He wore men's trousers and a woman's undercoat. Some people had given him the clothes out of pity." This is Gavroche, constantly searching for something to eat, cheeky and cheerful, and the terror of the bourgeois. He has experienced all the harshness of his environment, yet he has kept a warm heart. Despite his own plight, he helps those who are even poorer than he is. And in the fight against injustice, he does not spare his own life.
