Les Miserables: (penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) | Victor Hugo

Spending my evening catching up on the #readlesmis read-a-long. Glad to be diving back into this even if I am ankle deep in a many-chapter denunciation of the convent way of life. Oh how Hugo loves his digressions! 😂

TheBookHippie He does love to meander … ♥️🤣 8h

JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie he is the king of rabbit trails!!! 😳 which is why I got a tad behind. Catching up tomorrow! 🤞🏻 7h

TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 I know it‘s why I love him 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🫣♥️🤣 6h

JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie well one thing you can say is he definitely tells a very thorough story! More than any other book I‘ve read. 🤓 6h

TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 it soothes me. 🙃 6h

Les Miserables: (penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) | Victor Hugo

Pg 409
The “Collège des Quatre-Nations” (College of Four Nations) in Paris was established in 1661 by Cardinal Mazarin in his will. It was created to educate students from four territories that had recently come under French control through the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) and the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659).

TheBookHippie

tpixie The four “nations” represented were:
1.Alsace
2.Roussillon
3.Artois
4.Pignerol (Pinerolo) – a town in Piedmont, now in Italy

These regions were incorporated into France during the mid-17th century, and the college was intended to integrate elites from these new provinces into French culture and administration. 4w

tpixie @RamsFan1963 yes! I never watched his show, but I do like some of the singing in the cars clips. This one was really great! ( my son was in the movie The Prom - Netflix- with him , he wasn‘t the friendliest. Nicole Kidman was extremely kind and caring. Meryl Streep had to have the room‘s really freezing cold when she was doing dance routine so she wouldn‘t sweat 😅😆😂 (edited) 1mo

After making it through the Battle of Waterloo (which tested my patience and nearly had me yelling MERDE on more than one occasion), I am back with Jean Valjean and eager to catch up with the schedule. #readlesmis

Flowers and coins for Victor Hugo. He shares a tomb with Alexandre Dumas and Emile Zola, but nobody‘d left anything for them as of early this afternoon. 😔 Hopefully they also receive cool presents and the Pantheon staff just clear them away periodically.

tpixie Amazing crypts!! #READLESMIS 🇫🇷 2mo

xicanti @tpixie they were great! I thought I toured the whole thing, but when I was up in the gift shop I realized I missed both Josephine Baker and Antoine de Saint-Exupery, so I guess I missed a branch. Poop. 2mo

tpixie @xicanti oh! I missed those also! Snap!! I love Le Petit Prince 🤴🏻 ✈️ ☄️ 🌹 🐍 🦊 2mo

xicanti @tpixie I‘m ASSUMING they were there because the gift shop had so much stuff on them, but I‘ve been too busy to fact-check so it‘s possible I saw everything in the crypt and the shop‘s buyer was like, “Let‘s stock up on items related to a couple of really popular residents of France just because it‘ll sell.” Much like how every monument has Eiffel Tower merchandise. 2mo

I rarely annotate my books and yet here I am, busting out the flags for my #readlesmis read-a-long. My vacation had me fall behind but I should be caught up by the end of the day. I am finding it fascinating how relevant this book continues to be, and how despite its size, it is immensely readable.
