Interpretation As Books Les Misérables I (Les Misérables #1)

Victor Hugo, écrivain engagé, entreprend ici un vaste réquisitoire social. Loin de n'être que le récit de la réhabilitation d'un forçat évadé victime de la société, Les Misérables sont avant tout l'histoire du peuple de Paris. Jean Valjean, et le lien qui l'unit à Cosette, en est le fil conducteur et le symbole. Homme du peuple par excellence, damné et accablé par les humiliations successives, Jean Valjean prend sur lui le péché du monde et l'expie. Dans son effort incessant pour se racheter, il assume un destin tragique qui nous renvoie le reflet de l'humanité en marche.
Hugo retrace ici avec force les misères et les heures glorieuses des masses vivantes qui se retrouvent. Les événements se précipitent, les personnages se rencontrent, se heurtent, s'unissent parfois, à l'image de Cosette et de Marius. L'histoire du forçat évadé et de la petite miséreuse symbolisent quelque chose de plus grand : avec Les Misérables, Hugo réalise enfin l'esprit du peuple.

Weigh Up Containing Books Les Misérables I (Les Misérables #1)

When I started this book, I knew that I would very quickly discover that the story of Les Misérables as I know it from the musical is far from all of the story. And that much is already quite evident from just the first half, or really the first part of the story, which tells the life story of a character barely named in the musical, but of immense influence on Jean Valjean.I will write a full review once I have read volume two, as I very much consider it to be one book and I don't think it

This review is for the three volumes, not just this first one.I have been reading this great work for so long (six months) that I need to go through the cathartic experience of reviewing it just to resolve it in my mind. It was a re-reading, in French, so I cant tell anyone what the translation into English is like. I do wonder how a translator copes with linguistic puns, which Hugo is fond of, and an entire section on argot (I hesitate to use the word slang of such a highly developed form of

After reading the first out of three volumes I have only three words left to say (mainly because it's 12:45 am and I'm typing this having just finished the book and I am so incredibly exhausted):I am in love.Les Mis has always been something very close to my heart, and I have fallen harder and harder ever since seeing the musical movie (that, I now know, does NOT do it justice). So this is so incredibly cathartic for me. Reading the book in its 'mother tongue' has allowed me to see more facets

Here's Les Misérables, by Victor Hugo. I read this book, when I was a teenager... a long time ago! :)I read it in a French edition I couldn't find on Goodreads named La Pléïade. It's a famous and prestigious edition, dark green leather cover, with the thinnest pages you have ever had in hand. Which means that one never has the impression to go down in ones reading and ... God this novel is huge! But, even if I was young, I couldnt let it down. Theres everything I like : History, a good story,

This is not an easy read. Thank God I purchased a Kindle to look up A LOT of words. Some were in French and were not in my Kindle. Some sections required slower, more in depth reading, thus it took me a while to finish this. <><>Les Mis is such an eloquently worded and captivating story. I struggled, as I am sure many have in some areas, and tried to just go slower. It is also tense and exciting, so that you tend to want to skip over some of those beautifully explained historical

What can I write about this book that has not already been written by countless readers before me? What possible insight could I have that some academic has not already built up and then deconstructed (because that's what academics do, ammiright?) in a much finer and more eloquent manner than I could possibly even attempt?The rich characters, the vibrant story-telling, the various themes and underlying philosophies - they've all been written up already. Some people like to retell the entire

"Jean Valjean, my brother, you no longer belong to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I buy from you; I withdraw it from black thoughts and the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God." Vol. 1, Book First, Chapter XIIThe power of grace.I always knew I should read this classic work, but it always seemed overwhelming. I am ready for it now.
