I'm not at all familiar with the musical of Les Misérables (in any language) but the music is certainly pretty rousing!

Actually after you posted about Ninety-three the other day I tried to think of or find other thematically similar books, but was not really successful. There's Les Dieux ont soif by Anatole France which looks interesting but pretty grim. After lots of googling I also found Les Chouans by Balzac which seems to be more on the Royalist side of things (as the title also seems to suggest). There must surely be others but I cannot find them...

(Obviously I am excluding books like The Scarlet Pimpernel, which I would not exactly consider to be thematically similar to Ninety-three *g*)
