I'm kinda, in the need of an interaction between Monte Cristo and Jean Valjean. I need to see Valjean's face when Edmond is explaining his vengeance plan like, "and then I scaped prison and pretended to be someone else, and then I became wealthy as hell, and then I was going to kill the son of the man who put me in prison and also happened to be son of the love of my life, but then I didn't kill him, and then..." while Valjean is just like, "what the actual hell????"

My plan for this blog in 2024 is to follow along with Les Mis Letters again in both French and English (I think I may try a different English translation!) but I will not be reading as closely as I did in 2023. I will still be posting and reblogging about Les Mis and les mis letters, though!

My goal for the start of the year is to make decent headway with my Original French Concept Album translation & annotation project! I have a lot of the translations on the back burner and this seems like a good time finish annotating them.

I'm also planning to read more French classics this year! (I hope nobody minds if this les mis blog branches out into a 19th-century-France-but-mostly-still-Les-Mis blog). I'm going to start with Notre Dame de Paris because 1) it's still Hugo 2) it's relatively short and 3) I'm interested in comparing the language with the French musical!

After that I think I will read and blog about Le Comte de Monte Cristo because it won in the poll I made about what I should read next, and I'm familiar with the story, having read sections in French courses. I hope to eventually get to every book on that list but I think I have to start with small goals for the year.

If anyone is interested in reading these books along with me I would be overjoyed. I saw some interest in a Count of Monte Cristo daily email letter and honestly if there's enough interest I would be willing to start one.

I'm really excited to get started on these projects in 2024 and I hope it continues to be interesting to all those who follow me even if it's not strictly Les Mis!

Title: The Count of Monte Cristo

Author: Alexandre Dumas

Pages: 1243

"Thrown on prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantès is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to use the treasure to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas' epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialised in the 1840s."

The book club strikes again. I have to say that I needed some time to get into the story. The plot summary (above) didn't quite convince me that it's enjoyable, BUT I stand corrected. Although I was able to guess many plot points and relations between the characters I had fun in doing so and even more when I was right. As someone who doesn't speak French I sometimes had difficulties with pronouncing the names of people and places, but it was only a small hindrance.

Which amused me the most was that a book written 180 years ago uses the saying "cool as a cucumber" (at least the English translation, I don't know how it was written in French).

Memorable quotes:

'So remain a fisherman, don't dream of things that will make reality seem even more terrible to you - and be content with my friendship, because I cannot give you anything else.'

'In business, Monsieur, as you very well know, one has no friends, only associates.'

'But there are twenty-four hours in a day, sixty minutes in an hour and sixty seconds in a minute. A lot can be done in eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds.'

'Human justice is inadequate as a consolation: it can spill blood for blood, that's all. But one must only ask it for what is possible, not for anything more.'

'(...) all human wisdom is contained in these two words: 'wait' and 'hope'.'

‘And so you really believe it was your mysterious Count of Monte Cristo who won the prize?’ ‘I am sure of it.’ ‘And then sent the golden cup to me?’ ‘Undoubtedly!’ ‘Then, do you know,’ said the countess, ‘I have a strong inclination to return it! I cannot understand receiving such presents from a person wholly unknown to you.’ ‘Do no such thing, I beg of you; it would only produce a second cup, formed of a magnificent sapphire or hollowed out of a gigantic ruby. It is the way he is, and you must take him as you find him.

When I read about the Count's rescue of Albert earlier on, I really thought the latter was going to end up worshiping the former or something...but instead he keeps talking about him with this tone of like, fond condescension, like the Count is an exotic pet of sorts dhbjdjnd

#my wife described the tone in this passage as 'indulgent' which i think captures it #i'm really like... unaccountably fond of albert lmao #not a gram of sense in that brain of his.... god bless #le comte de monte cristo
