A review by ferris_mx
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
3.0
Um, victory? Reading this was a bit of a chore. And it's not very modern, as say, War and Peace is turning out to be. It's hard to tell how much of that owes to the translator.
I don't really get the "social message" Hugo intended. I think our children will always be reliant on their parents to make good, or at least not terrible, decisions. To turn over the raising of children to the state will never be preferable.
