by Victor Hugo This Classic was originally written in French and I've found that the translation does make a difference. I have a paperback copy from Penguin, translated by John Sturrock and my first impression was that the writing was very poetic, but I got the free Kindle version from Gutenberg ...

Si schiera contro il partito cattolico, maggioritario nell’Assemblea. È un discorso contro la scuola clericale, per una scuola laica, libera, aperta. In q...

As so many have discovered in the 153 years since it was written, Les Miserables is a triumph. I had heard it called the greatest story ever told. I doubted. I was wrong. It’s a story of redemption and love told through Jean Valjean, one of the greatest characters ever written. THE greates...
