Nous sommes ‘Les Miserables’

  Wanna solution for being miserable? Read Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables.” English Translation: “The Miserables” or “The Wretcheds.”  Hugo’s nineteenth century historical novel is 1,200 pages long. On Kindle it cost me ninety-nine cents. It’s a classic and has been around a long time. What got me interested in reading this French behemoth was a quote I ran across that was taken from “Les Miserables.” “The pupil dilates in the dark, and the soul dilates in misfortune and ends up finding God there.”
