A man walks in the shadows of Paris: Jean Valjean. On his back is a dog tag from a stolen loaf of bread, and in his heart is a conscience that no one can weigh. Javert, the inspector who follows him step by step, is the cold insistence of the law; Cosette, whom Valjean has sworn to protect, is a thin spring branch sprouting in the middle of the darkness.

*Sephiller* is not just a novel of poverty, love or revolution; it is a journey in which compassion challenges the scales of justice that tear human beings apart. Broken chain links, the stones of the barricades and the bishop’s silver candlestick whisper the same question in this unique story: “How much can a person change himself?”

This abridged special edition reweaves Victor Hugo’s magnum opus without damaging its essence, presenting the great adventure from Valjean’s galley prison cell to Cosette’s sky-blue window, from the rotten backstreets of Paris to the trenches of the revolution in fluent, contemporary Turkish.

As you turn the pages, you will remember a song you don’t know the name of: that old tune where the human heart beats on the bridge between justice and mercy.
