Victor Hugo
Cosette is a fictional character in Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Misérables and in many adaptations of the story for stage, film and television. Her birth name, Euphrasius, is mentioned only briefly. As an orphaned child of an unmarried mother abandoned by her father, Hugo never gives her a surname.
At the center of Hugo's monumental work and one of the most significant novels of French literature, there are three exceptional characters caught in a web of passion and revenge.
