Les Misérables: Vol. 4 – The Idyll in the Rue Plumet and the Epic in the Rue St. Denis

The two-dude bookclub is back for it’s fourth excursion into the wondrous depths of Victor Hugo’s timeless epic, Les Misérables. Join me (russ) and Mick as we review a tome which has quite a laborious title which many translators have taken liberties with. I personally would translate it as “the chiiill expository part and the siiick war part.” In our discussion we’ll see how this volume tackles the pragmatics and the consequences of revolution while providing some riveting battle scenes. Interestingly enough, the key conflict is what inspired Hugo to write Les Mis in the first place. We also discuss the timeless question: “what’s love got to do with it?” And the episode is littered with gamin. It’s a wild ride and I hope you enjoy.To find the episodes for volumes, one, two and three and to learn more about the pod, please visit russrev1ews.com.
