Any action of this volume is supported by the riot of June 1832 and the barricade of the rue Saint-Denis. Victor Hugo believes that he is still somewhat the heart of the novel. The first events of the book in the historical context of the insurrectional situation begins in Paris in 1832.
        Then in parallel several lives that will converge in the streets of Chanvrerie. Victor Hugo speaks of the first character of Eponine, possess a disappointed love for Marius, an angel of happiness when she tells Marius the address of the house of Cosette when she defends him against the attack of Thenardier and his band, angel trouble when she sends Marius the barricade and hides the letter. Eponine martyr of love when she intercepts the ball for Marius and dies in his arms.
        The author then relaunched the career of Jean Valjean and Cosette since they entered the convent of Petit-Picpus. We are witnessing the emergence of Cosette. At the head of the prioress of the convent, "It will be ugly," replied the observation of the lady of All Saints is pretty. 'With the information of Eponine, the idyll between Cosette and Marius can resume street plume engaged by a love letter (a heart under a rock) and continues until the early departure of Jean Valjean and Cosette in the streets of "Homme Armé."
        Victor Hugo then finishes the character of Gavroche, street kid, spontaneous and generous, capable of free acts (the stolen purse and given to Montparnasse Mabeuf, helping to escape his father). We also discovered that his father and responsible when he accumulates in the elephant of the Bastille, the two lost boys, he ignores that he is the brother.

The fifth part is that of death and obliteration. Died on the barricades of insurgents that began at the end of the previous volume by that of Eponine and Mr. Mabeuf, and continues with that of Gavroche followed by the annihilation of the barricade. Jean Valjean is like a guardian angel: his blows do not kill people, Javert intends to execute Jean Valjean, but allows him to escape and save Marius at the last moment of the barricade.

        The epic rescue occurs in the sewers of Paris (Leviathan's gut) that Victor Hugo describes in abundance. Hoping to escape from prosecution and impasse, Jean Valjean in the sewers with the Thenardiers, but falls in the net of Javert. Marius, saved, will be given to his grandfather.

                Then we witness the suicide of Javert and Jean Valjean. Javert effect pause when he was driving, in recognition of the fact that Jean Valjean had saved during the attack of the barricade, but by doing that Javert can not stand to have failed in his duty of the unscrupulous police, which imposes the duty not to release a suspect for personal reasons, of which he remains Unable to bear, this dereliction falls from duty, and questioned the principle that is superior to him in obedience to the hierarchy, he decided to end his life by jumping into the Seine.

        The romance between Cosette and Marius takes the form of a marriage. Jean Valjean gradually fades from the life of the couple, encouraged by Marius who sees him as a thief and a murderer. Marius is undeceived by the Thenardiers in the last lines of the novel and attends with Cosette, confused and grateful to the last moments of Jean Valjean.
