He always took his meals alone, with an open book before him, which he read. He had a well-selected little library. He loved books; books are cold but safe friends. In proportion as leisure came to him with fortune, he seemed to take advantage of it to cultivate his mind.

— Les Misérables, I.V.III Illustrated by Rene Giffey (French comic, 1949)

Woah some Les Mis genius just made a tiktok diving into the canonical parallels between Jean Valjean and St Nicholas:

Or watch on tiktok to boost this excellent person in the algorithm! They are clearly trying very hard to produce quality analysis about extremely important Les mis things like “Jean Valjean breaking into people’s houses to secretly give them money,” but do not have a lot of followers yet! :

Some Underrated Things In Jane Austen's Novels:

Catherine Morland's arc of learning how the world really works while showing that her innocence and honesty are good, worthwhile things

Henry Tilney's arc of overcoming cynicism and learning how to finally stand up to his abusive father

Mrs. Jennings, the vulgar and embarrassing but kind and generous woman

Elinor and Colonel Brandon's friendship

Marianne teasing Edward

Charles Bingley: the Ideal Gentleman who is kind, generous, friendly, and smart, whose only flaw is that he's too willing to give people the benefit of the doubt and thus doubts his judgement sometimes

Fanny Price: The Strongest Female Character in all of Austen

Anne Elliot's and Charles Musgrove's friendship. Actually, the way that all the Musgroves appreciate Anne and she enjoys their company

The deep friendship between Wentworth, Harville and Benwick

“Fantine should have been allowed a gun” this “Les Mis would have been shorter if Fantine had had a gun” that. Just acknowledge that you want Dunya and go.

I have been thinking…that the social moulds civilization fits us into have no more relation to our actual shapes than the conventional shapes of the constellations have to the real star-patterns.

Late nineteenth century postcard depicting the pillory scene from Victor Hugo’s Notre Dame de Paris.

Of note: this is one of the few illustrations that depicts Esmeralda with a rainbow colored skirt, as she is described as wearing in the novel.
