I was reading Les Miserables and came across this paragraph:

"...there is in certain men the veritable instinct of the beast, pure and complete like all instinct, which creates antipathies and sympathies, which separates one nature from another forever, which never hesitates, never is perturbed, never keeps silent, and never admits itself to be in the wrong; clean in its obscurity, infallible, imperious, refractory under all counsels of intelligence, and all the solvents of reason, and which, whatever may be their destinies, secretly warns the dog-man of the prescience of the cat-man and fox-man of the presence of lion-man."

I don't understand this. What is he trying to say?

So /lit/, I just bought Les Miserables and A Tale of Two Cities. Which to read first?

Pic related, the one I think needs to go first.

Hey /lit/ I was wondering, where do Musicals fall under in 4chan? Musicals like Fiddler on the Roof and Les Miserables are derived from literature, but musicals like Hairspray and Marry Poppins are from movies. Also Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King are from Disney movies. Then you have Cinderella and The Little Mermaid which are from Folk Tales!

So I ask you /lit/ would discussing a musical be acceptable on this board and others like /co/ and /tv/? Or are regular plays only acceptable?

ITT: Books with good stories and awful writing.

Pic related. I only got through it because it was required. It's one of those books that seems much better in retrospect.

When are Victor Hugo and Fyodor Dostoevsky supposed to be read in the school system?

Is it the senior year of HS of high school?

When Hugo published Les Misérables, he was on holiday. After not hearing anything about its reception for a few days, Hugo sent a telegram to his publisher, reading, simply:

"?"

The complete reply from the publisher:

"!"

Also, to those who've read The Hunchback of Notre Dame, is it as good?
