One Day More: 25th Anniversary of Les Miserables with Nick Jonas as Marius :D
Les Miserables was the only book I've read that changed my life and now that it's going to the big screen with a whole new cast from the first movie, I can't stop myself from feeling the excitement! I have been watching different Les Mis concerts since I saw the trailer a couple of days ago. I have never read a book as great as this with all important themes and significant human experiences placed into one timeless classic. I must say that reading this book and understanding each compelling and powerful storylines under the most influential teachers I ever had was the most life changing part of highschool.
This book will make you want to become a better person :)
"So long as there shall exist, by virtue of law and custom, decrees of damnation pronounced by society, artificially creating hells amid the civilization of earth, and adding the element of human fate to divine destiny; so long as the three great problems of the century – the degradation of man through pauperism, the corruption of woman through hunger, the crippling of children through lack of light – are unsolved; so long as social asphyxia is possible in any part of the world; – in other words, and with a still wider significance, so long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of Les Misérables cannot fail to be of use"
(Thank you, literature class. Thank you, AC.)
Christmas, I hope you were a little bit nearer right now.
