Les Miserables

My personal favorite musical and book. Musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, the book is written by Victor Hugo.
In this story we follow Jean Valjean, an exconvict who becomes good, but is always being chased by a policeman named Javert
Unlike popular belief Les Miserables is not set during the French Revolution, but after in a student led failed revolution called the June Rebellion

Les Miserables recently celebrated their 25th anniversary as a musical, and in London Jean Valjean is being played by Alfie Boe, Marius is being played by Gareth Gates, Cosette is being played by Katie Hall, and until Thurs Sept 15th 2011 Matt Lucas is playing M. Thenardier

miserable

The word for the feeling that we sometimes call depression without the attached social malaise ( ie the need to take medication, go to shrink, talk too much, eat too much etc ).

Miserable bastard

A person who behaves in a selfish, self centred, lazy or miserly way; a killjoy.

Can be strengthened by adding fucking as an adjective: "miserable fucking bastard".
"I asked him to lend me 20 dollars and he told me to fuck off! The miserable bastard!"

"Let's go to the party!"
"I can't be bothered. I want to stay at home and read a book."
"You miserable bastard."

Miserable Cow

A person--usually an overweight woman--who is always complaining about something trivial.
Man, my boss is such a miserable cow. If she won the mega-millions jackpot, she'd whine about having to go to the bank.

Les Misérables

A novel written by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that has film and musical adaptations.
Consisting of 5 parts, all of which are set in different times, the novel can be considered as 5 volumes rather than the 1 book.

The most well known and regarded part is set in June 1832 and based loosely around the June rebellion. Important characters and dates in this section are accurate as Victor Hugo (the author) was present for part of said rebellion.
Les Misérables also happens to be the best selling musical of all time. It was first opened and performed in English on the 8th of October, 1985 by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
The film was released in 2012.
Les Misérables is amazing but the film casting, as well as the casting in previous musical productions, has sparked conflict within fans. Fans of the novel are often not fond of the musical as it is inaccurate,
