Les Miserables

Les Miserables: Complete and Unabridged -

I had to re-read Les Miserables.

 

I fell in love with the story on the first read, but not the language. Having seen a few adaptations on stage and screen in the few years since my first read of the book, it has not lost any of its original appeal but I noticed that in all the adaptations I was drawn to Javert almost more than to Valjean.

So, it was time to rediscover the original characters from the book... I still don't find the language used adequately telling the story - but maybe that's a translation issue.

 

(And yeah, Javert is still the character that intrigues me most.)
