[court-du-coeur]

I'm bored during a presentation let's liveblog the new translation of Les Misérables

1 - myriel😘 a good man I-VI

[christine donougher] it has extensive footnotes! i could finally understand what is going on!!!

aw hell yeah no gatekeeping the names of things in this one

ICONIC opening 😂😭 we immediately know what we are in for with m. victor hugo

me when i run away from the US and am observing events back home 😭 (jk im going down with the ship)

monsieur that is a french version of a spanish word no se dice eso

haha that's a fun sentence in this translation. also i think it applies to many events & people in this book

so he did the "look at your cousin THEY behave" 😂😭

🔥🔥❤️‍🔥 oh m. myriel i forgot how cool you are

white man SHOCKS other white people by saying noble things in fluent regional french dialect!!!

victor hugo, finishing writing this: ahh a good day's work time to visit the brothel 😊

no but seriously what was his cognitive dissonance. i mean i have no problem with his having tons of sex but his characters sure would seem to

gottem

my HEART

im in a weird place rn re: christianity but. if more priests/pastors were like our man m. myriel? 🥲🥲🥲

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

incredible. also 19th century puffer jacket equivalent?

hugo does this whilst writing les mis except his deep meditation concerns, of course, not The Lord but napoleon,, sewers,, convents etc.

someone get this woman a gofundme 😡

also i just. idk i haven't read a classic novel in ages and i love the fact he's just listing, in detail, all the furniture [and the desired furniture] of a side character who appears only in the first few chapters. we are all just along for the ride

"i want to see the simple visualisation. is that what you have, or do you have three long and intricate paragraphs?" "that is correct. i have a simple visualisation.."🌵🌵🌵

chekov's six silver forks and spoons and large ladle
