miserablist 

Someone who appears to obsess and gloat over gloomy matters.

One who has looked life directly in the face and lived.

A person who can just about cope with reality and finds himself on a mission to wake other people up to what he thinks is going on around them.

A person whose default position to any statement by persons claiming authority is one of scepticism or outright disbelief.

Miserablist Larkin loved his mum and dad after all.

Ges Misérables 

Ges Misérables or ges misérables (pronounced ‘Gay Miz-eh-rahb’) is the ‘Gay Misery’ or mournful depression occasionally experienced with gays faced by overwhelming complexity and societal opposition to their lifestyle ‘choice’. Unbeknownst to most heterosexuals, it requires tremendous psychic energy to even roll out of bed and face a world that is often violently hostile to the way a person thinks, speaks, dresses, walks, votes, emotes and makes love.

Julian was reconciled to his lifestyle choice and seldom experienced ges misérables. Julian’s lover James was no so fortunate however, and often knew despondent freefall into the vast royal blue abyss of the Ges Misérables.

Les Miserables 

A Broadway musical based on the novel by Victor Hugo of the same name. Typically assumed to take place during the French Revolution, it in fact is set during the early 1800s, particularly during an uprising against Napoleon III in the 1830s. The plot follows Jean Valjean, a convict who broke parole, rose to become a factory owner and mayor, and adopted the child of a former factory worker-turned prostitue. Throughout the story, Valjean is pursued incessantly by Javert, a policeman who believes that, by God's will, he will recapture Valjean. Other subplots present themselves along the story, including a love triangle between Valjean's adopted daughter (Cosette), a reluctant revolutionary (Marius Pontmercy), and a streetgirl (Eponine Thenardier), and the wheelings and dealing of Eponine's swindling parents. A fantastic novel and a beautiful musical.

Les Miserables, one of the few published works of Victor Hugo, is considered a classic in French literature.

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

"Les Miserables is set during the French Revoultion"

"No its not idiot! It's set during the June Rebellion!"

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,
