Features: I—Remy had always lived a poor but happy life with Maman Barberin, until one day, a man who demanded I call him "Father". I then discovered that I was the abandoned child they had taken in and had been sold to the Varieté Theater. From then on, I began a life of wandering. Fortunately, my master was a kind and benevolent person, who allowed me to have a brief but happy time. During those days of traveling, one event followed another; my master was arrested and imprisoned, I made friends at first sight with the owner of the "Swan," experienced a separation from the traveling troupe, and met someone searching for me, then embarked on the journey back to Paris. Finally, I was reunited with my family, but at this point, I had completely lost the enthusiasm I once had for finding them. Could my family really be this band of thieves? Hector Malot, the author of Les Misérables, was one of the writers who contributed to the development and advancement of the contemporary melodrama novel and was recorded in the history of modern French literature. He was born in 1830 in a village called Lave, and his father was a lawyer who hoped his son would follow in his footsteps, so he sent him to Paris to study law. However, Malot fell in love with literature, and the publication of his novel Les Artistes attracted the attention of literary critics. He was a prolific writer, having written over seventy novels in his lifetime. The newly released Illustrated Phonetic Edition of World Literary Classics is a series of books carefully edited and illustrated, specifically dedicated to young readers. Its illustrated format and standardized phonetic annotations that meet primary school teaching standards fully meet the reading needs of elementary school students.
