Con el transcurso de los meses, recuperé mi confianza y disciplina, al leer ejemplares como Apocalipsis de Stephen King o la saga completa de Harry Potter. Fue un tiempo tranquilo y sin turbulencias. Sin embargo, cuando el fin de año se acercó, misteriosamente el título de este libro me perseguía por todas partes: En Youtube, Facebook, y aquí mismo en Goodreads, todos los días veía algo que me recordaba esa deuda pendiente que tenía con este libro. Entonces impulsado por las promesas decembrinas, respiré profundo y me prometí a mí mismo que sin importar lo que ocurriera, tenía que enfrentar el miedo a leer Los Miserables. Les Misérables is a French historical novel by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. One shouldn’t, however, think that Les Misérables is only about misery and suffering. There is also love and happiness. There is fatherly love between Val Jean and Cosette, and love and perfect bliss between Cosette and Marius. These happy relations pour sunshine to the story amidst the heavy, dark clouds.

In the foreword to the 2004 edition of The Wretched of the Earth, Homi K. Bhabha criticized Sartre's introduction, stating that it limits the reader's approach to the book to focus on its promotion of violent resistance to oppression. [4] After 1967, in the wake of Sartre's support for Israel in the Six-Day War, the introduction by Sartre was removed from new editions by Fanon's widow, Josie. Interviewed in 1978 at Howard University, she said, "when Israel declared war on the Arab countries, there was a great pro-Zionist movement in favor of Israel among western (French) intellectuals. Sartre took part in this movement. He signed petitions favoring Israel. I felt that his pro-Zionist attitudes were incompatible with Fanon's work". [5] Anthony Elliott writes that The Wretched of the Earth is a "seminal" work. [6] a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x Fanon, Frantz (2004) [1961]. The Wretched of the Earth.

Léanlo a su propio ritmo: No importa si tardan tres meses, seis meses o un año. No se apresuren y usen el tiempo necesario. Cuando les falte poco para finalizarlo ya no querrán terminarlo, yo sé porque se los digo.In this case, I will have to say: one single character that broke my heart and shaped my idealism and stirred my anger: Gavroche Thénardier. So, read the full version, if you can. You’re welcome to the other, shorter versions, but read the full one at least once in your lifetime. Read the introduction even, for in this particular edition there is a wonderful amount of detail about Victor Hugo’s life that brings the book into beautiful focus. The introduction also calls the abridged version insufficient, and says: It is almost impossible to predict the individual detail, the flashing image or human quirk precisely observed, that will burn its way into a reader’s mind for good.I cannot agree more. Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters, particularly the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption.

In the end we see Clare, having lost her way, finding herself again. Through Nature, spiritually, bonding with her Dad, setting up her own business, surviving and thriving. Bruce seems happy as well. Having sold his company found some peace, and deciding what to do next. I'm going to take a leap here, and hope it has something to do with the Foster Care System in BC, helping young heroin addicts, searching for his Father, and the rest of his Mother's family. just because I am very generous, these here are the top four best parts (AKA the most heartwarming) in all of Les Mis., if you wanted to know, followed by the four worst: In this the author captures social injustice in its most brutal form; he shows the foolishness of unbending laws, of a system that refuses to open its eyes, and how the common man will always suffer under the yolk of the powerful. But, somehow, Valjean just about retains his decency and his humanity. Somehow in the face of sadistic ruling, he manages to remain Valjean; he even manages to better himself and improve the world around him. Yes, he makes a mistake that leads to the death of an innocent; yes, he was responsible for the snuffing of the life he ignored. However, he redeems himself in a truly extraordinary way, and eventually pays an even greater sacrifice. The world needs more men like Valjean. Jean Valjean was a prisoner of 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread to try to feed his sister and her seven children. They don't care if people or kids starve to death and going to jail for 19 years. Wow! Jean only heard of news one time of his sister and the youngest child working and going to school. No one knows what became of the rest of the children.

He tardado más de tres meses en realizar esta reseña. Desde que finalicé la lectura en marzo, estoy escribiendo distintos borradores para intentar expresar todo lo que sentí leyendo esta obra maestra. El problema, es que en mi cabeza tengo tantos pensamientos y reflexiones relacionados a este libro, que contarlos todos se ha convertido en un trabajo muy complicado. Les confieso, que la frustración por no estar satisfecho por lo que estaba escribiendo, casi me lleva a cancelar la realización de esta reseña. Sin embargo, lo he logrado y por ello la siguiente reseña es el resultado de mi sexto intento.
