“Give to this dog son of a wolf a human face, and the result will be Javert.”

I think a lot about the folkloric story that Victor Hugo describes (or invents) in Les Mis, that uses dogs/wolves as a metaphor for that way that Inspector Javert betrays his own social class. It feels very fairytale-like, so here’s a Lotte-Reiniger style adaptation. Many thoughts, many emotions. I may animate this eventually. (And thanks to @valvertweek for the motivation!)

Grantaire is a disaster. Enjolras not having it.

Grantaire Is A Disaster. Enjolras Not Having It.

『レ・ミゼラブル』 原作: ヴィクトル・ユーゴー 漫画:新井隆広

If anything, I see what I call beauty in things that are broken and lost.

Is that your belief?

And if I said it was?

You're a drunk cynic. I don't despise you. But I do pity you.

“All Armenians know the name Victor Hugo thanks to Les Misérables— a delectable book that every last one of our peasants and the humblest of our village schoolteachers have read and reread and that has become like a second gospel for our people.”

- Arshag Chobanian (1902)

[The first Armenian translation of Les Misérables created a] "Hugolatria that bordered on mania," taking hold of many Armenian readers and writers and leading them to treat Hugo like a kind of oracle."

- Not the original person who said the quote, but I got it from the Manoukian's 2022 paper

LM 2.3.4

can’t believe hugo's complaining about light pollution in 1823/62. good thing he missed the eiffel tower

the fact that you can’t see the stars is significant though because of its association with spiritual darkness, and particularly as it’s shop candles — literal splendid matter, to reference lm 2.1.18 — that are blocking the stars, and they’re only lit at the moment to catch people on their way to mass. people are being distracted and led astray from what matters: in 2.1.18, the ideals of the revolution; in this chapter, god/jesus, which christmas is supposed to be about. they’re even physically being led astray — the line of stalls goes from the church to the thénardiers’ inn

cosette is heartbreaking give that girl a REST and a HUG
