Les Miserables, Volume I

Les Miserables, Volume I: Fantine: Unabridged Bilingual Edition: English-French | Victor Hugo

Booksirens invited me to join them and they have analyzed my Goodreads profile and this came up. I agree 100% with their analysis but the Les miserables comment caught me by surprise and I found it so funny, brought back to my mind this two memes 😅

Ruthiella Yes! I‘m glad I read it, but it is one of the few books where I feel it really could be abridged and the reader wouldn‘t miss much…the chapter on Waterloo was almost my Waterloo, though I prevailed! 😅 (edited) 2y

nanuska_153 @Ruthiella I feel EXACTLY the same! Waterloo almost killed me... I saw after suffering the whole book that there's an abridged version and I thought "I bet I would have loved that, but now we will never know..." Although when I watched the movie I left saying: "but they left so much out! Victor Hugo (and me) made such an effort to go through a story with so many different dimensions" Here's to never be happy ? 2y

There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.

...as there is always more misery among the lower class than there is humanity in the higher,...

1. Yes! Not an explicit list but I‘m very motivated by wanting me experiences and wanting to do new things. I think about this stuff a lot and have lots of ideas

2. learning to garden or sew and maybe going to a ballet or opera

3. The main thing is that I want to travel alone one day. I‘m very extroverted and am frightened of not having someone to talk to, but I do want to travel alone one time.

4. So Long.

wanderinglynn Thanks for playing! 🖋 6y

If we were around in 1862, we could have purchased one of these 5 volumes-the first English translation of Les Miserables-for only 50 cents!

(These are on EBay with a starting bid of $500)
