I finally started on my reread of this novel. I first read it in high school - we got extra credit if we read the unabridged version and I flew through the entire thing on Spring Break. Several years ago, I bought this translation for the cover and then bought a second copy so I wouldn‘t have to flip back and forth to the end notes. 😂 #READLESMIS

dabbe It's great for arm lifting, too! 🤩 6h

A new day was dawning and it‘s soft light was settling over his life and over his soul. He felt like he was seeing Satan in the light of paradise. #ReadLesMis

DrSabrinaMoldenReads The end of the “Petit-Gervais” chapter made me teary-eyed. 11h

Part One: Fantime, Book 2: The Fall, Chapter VIII: The Deep & the Dark

is this chapter a metaphor of
drowning in the sea 🟰 Jean Valjean‘s despair?

Gleefulreader I took it both as that, and that it represented how quickly society leaves the poor and the jailed behind. That society leaves those people behind to drown and suffer. 2d
tpixie @Gleefulreader thanks!! I appreciate your insight. 💙🤍❤️🇫🇷💙🤍❤️ 2d
TheBookHippie I must say MERCY came up a lot for me during this part when I read it win. 2020, and I have thought a lot about that this week. 2d
tpixie @TheBookHippie yes MERCY does fit this chapter , and is a good lesson for us to remember (edited) 1d

I am surprised at how much was left out of this version and it was not acknowledged as being abridged. Or maybe the new translation is more explanatory. It surely is significantly more understandable and enjoyable. #readLesMis

BarbaraBB Is this an abridged version?? It‘s a chunkster! I read this edition and really enjoyed it too. 6d
DrSabrinaMoldenReads It‘s not abridged supposedly but my new translation is soooo much better @BarbaraBB 5d
tpixie @DrSabrinaMoldenReads I‘m glad you switched and are enjoying your version!! 3d

tpixie @DrSabrinaMoldenReads this has really taught me how important different translations are!! 2d
DrSabrinaMoldenReads @tpixie It‘s amazing. The newer translation includes all Jean-Valjean‘s emotional struggles early on while this translation leaves that almost all out 22h
