In this book, the Congolese artist Faida Tshimwanga
(Jovanie) publishes her vision of restoring world peace
through a respectful approach to human rights and
democracy. Jovanie underwent an epiphany while reading one
of the greatest novels of the 19 century: Les Misérables by
Victor Hugo. After finishing the novel, she found herself
overcome with emotion because saying goodbye to Cosette
was like saying farewell to a mirror filled with the same stories
of poverty and misery that she was all too familiar with. The
novel inspired her to pursue and develop her own creative
talents. Through those talents, she would then share her story
with the world.
