“There is nothing like a dream to create the future.” So - where should I begin? I do not even think it remotely possible to sum up all my feelings about this novel in 20.000 simple letters. Perhaps I will never be able to put down in words how this book touched me and burned into the core of my bei...
Might as well get the length out of the way. "Les Miserables", the unabridged version, is longer than either "War and Peace" or "Anna Karenina"; and both of Tolstoy's classics took me about two months to get through as did Les Miserables. The narrative gets 5-Stars. It is because of the interlude...

People appeared on screen for the first time then died not...
Question on Reddit:Q: What would be Victor Hugo's reaction be if he saw the musical/movie version of his book, Les Miserables?A: "What sorcery is this?"The book is full of profound quotable lines, but I went with the above anyway, it just tickled me when I read it. Phew! Took me a full month to read...
3.5[...]there is no man more terrible in action than a dreamer.The story is amazing and I understand why musicals and movies are so popular as they don't include Hugo's moralizing, preaching, philosophizing. I din't mind these parts especially about Waterloo and Paris sewers but I see why some peopl...
