Words Wednesday: Victor Hugo
This week’s Words Wednesday features the classic French author Victor Hugo.
This quote comes from Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables. Originally published in French in 1862, the historical novel follows several characters, including ex-convict Jean Valjean and orphaned Cosette, during France’s June Rebellion. One of longest novels ever written, critics have argued that the length of Les Misérables is in fact its greatest strength. Numerous movie and Broadway adaptations have helped Victor Hugo’s masterpiece remain as popular and relevant as ever.
