(the city is always been in dark, because the sun has never raised up. kids laugh at night, they laugh at the busy people who sleep at midnight)

“sh! it’s time to go!” a kid looked at the date book, and said in a low voice.

“it doesn’t matter, they have been asleep, and can’t hear us. but do you sure?” the other kid seemed nervous.

“linda! are you feared?! if so, you can go to bed now, forget where i am going! or follow me! ” mark said strongly.

mark and linda were twins, and they were bored in a remote village. they have lived there, and grown there for 14 years.

“i will follow you, but let me smell the soil one more time.” as the words, linda knelt down and hold the soil which was still warm. the wind which came from the deep of the woods was very frigid. it was blewing the autume leaves crazily and blewing the girl’s heart crazily.

but it’s time to go, to find their parents who had been gone for all the 13 years after giving birth to them.

they started their trip to the city where their parents had gone without waking up anyone.

“we have to take off at next station, let’s pick up luggag and get ready.” mark said on the chair on the train.

“oh! that must be the greatest news that i have heared in my life!”

after took off, they stood on the surface and didn’t know where to go. at the moment, they saw two persons walking toword them, a man and a woman.. “guys! are you new in this city?” the man asked.

“how do you know that?” linda asked without answering.

“because that’s our job, we are the guides here from the city’s government, could we help you?” the woman said.

“there is nothing as a free lunch, what should we pay for you?” linda asked. “nothing.” the woman said.

“that is so good!” mark shot excited.

“but…”

“that can’t be better!” the woman broke linda’s words.

“well, it will only bother you.” linda said after a short thinking.

“ah, it’s my pleasure! my name is anna, he is cosmo.” the woman said.

“i am alice, this is my brother, james.” alice made up the new names for them. “ok, james and alice, nice to meet you.” anna said with a big smile.

“me, too.”

“well, could you tell us where you are going?”

“we are looking for the police staion.” linda said quikly.

“police station?”

“yes, we are looking for our……”

“damn! we just want to finish some formalities.” mark was broken by his sister. “oh! that sounds easily. let’s go there just 5 minutes walk from the station.” anna said, also with a big smile, but mark voted to his sister’s eyes to a query, and linda back to a “nothing” to her brother’s eyes.

just when they looked at each other, the man was going away.

“where is he going?” mark asked.

“he still has some work, don’t be care of that, let’s go on!” the woman explained. “ah ha! let’s go on!” mark echoed.

after 5 minutes, they arrived in front of a door which was read ,”east gate station, shanghai public security bureau” .

“here we are!” anna announced. “go to work, and i will wait for you here.” “thank you.” linda said confused and seriously.

the famous musical Les miserabLes is directed by tom hooper, who once gained the academy award for directing. it is based on the book of the same name by hugo, a master of literature.

i showed no interest in the musicals in the past, but Les miserabLes really touched me. even, i can feel what the roLes are feeling in the musical. it has the charm that one can concentrate on the development of the plot without any distraction. in a addition, the songs in the musical are fairly touching and full of affection, such as i dreamed a dream, castle on a cloud, empty chairs and empty tabLes, do you hear the people sing and so on.

among these songs, i love the i dreamed a dream especially. the interpretation of this song, in my opinion, is the most touching part of this musical. in the performance, i can hear not only sadness, pain but also the desperation.

第五篇：book review of the Les miserabLes

book review of the Les miserabLes

Les miserabLes is a french historical novel by victor hugo, first published in 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 june rebellion in paris, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters, focusing on the struggLes of ex-convict jean valjean and his experience of redemption.

examining the nature of law and grace, the novel elaborates upon the history of france, the architecture and urban design of paris, politics, moral philosophy, antimonarchism, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love. Les misérabLes has been popularized through numerous adaptations for the stage, television, and film, including a musical a musical and a film adaptation film of that musical.

the appearance of the novel was a highly anticipated event, as victor hugo enjoyed a reputation as one of france's foremost poets in the middle of the nineteenth century. the new york times announced its forthcoming publication as early as april 1860. hugo forbade his publishers from summarizing his story and refused to authorize the publication of excerpts in advance of publication. he instructed them to build on his earlier success and suggested this approach: "what victor h. did for the gothic world in notre-dame of paris, he accomplishes for the modern world inLes miserabLes". a massive advertising campaign preceded the release of the first two volumes of Les misérablein brussels on 30 or 31 march and in paris on 3 april 1862. the remaining volumes appeared on 15 may 1862. critical reactions were wide-ranging and often negative. some critics found the subject matter immoral, others complained of its excessive sentimentality, and others were disquieted by its apparent sympathy with the revolutionaries. l. gauthier wrote in le monde of 17 august 1862: "one cannot read without an unconquerable disgust all the details monsieur hugo gives regarding the successful planning of riots. flanbert found "neither truth nor greatness" in it. he complained that the characters were crude stereotypes who all "speak very well – but all in the same way". he deemed it an "infantile" effort and brought an end to hugo's career like "the fall of a god".in a newspaper review, charLes baudelaire charLes praised hugo's success in focusing public attention on social problems, though he believed that such propaganda was the opposite of art. in private he castigated it as "tasteLess and inept".

the novel basic plot is jean valjean pitiful life history. he originally is one poor family background worker, because the income insufficient family member gets by, by one time stole the bread is arrested is put in prison. passed 19 years firm prison and the bitter service life. the punishment completely after also has the larceny behavior, but benevolent bishop in the rice the sorrowful influence, the transformation is one shed oneself manner person. he uses an alias is madland, works as the entrepreneur, and is pushed for mayor. but soon and further because exposed the status is arrested is put in prison, after escapes rescues the deceased female worker fantin's daughter cosette match from one bastard hand special, went to paris. after again unceasingly encountered police's pursuit. the jean valjean entire life fills is imprisoned the pain

which the bitter service and drifts about destitute, this is the novel main clue.

as the novel said, “man has upon him his fLesh, which is at once his burden and his temptation. he drags it with him and yields to it. he must watch it, cheek it, repress it, and obey it only at the last extremity. there may be some fault even in this obedience; but the fault thus committed is venial; it is a fall, but a fall on the knees which may terminate in prayer. ” to be a saint is the exception; to be an upright man is the rule. err, fall, sin if you will, but be upright. the least possible sin is the law of man. no sin at all is the dream of the angle. all which is terrestrial is subject to sin. sin is a gravitation. jean valjean had entered the galleys sobbing and shuddering; he emerged impassive. he had entered in despair; he emerged gloomy. what had taken place in that soul? let us try to say it. it is necessary that society should look at these things, because it is itself which creates them.

he was, as we have said, an ignorant man, but he was not a fool. the light of nature was ignited in him. unhappiness, which also possesses a clearness of vision of its own, augmented the small amount of daylight which existed in this mind. beneath the cudgel, beneath the chain, in the cell, in hardship, beneath the burning sun of the galleys, upon the plank bed of the convict, he withdrew into his own consciousness and meditated.

all these things, realities full of specters, phantasmagorias full of realities, had eventually created for him a sort of interior state which is almost indescribable. it will be perceived that it was not without reason that jean valjean’s passport described him as a very dangerous man. from year to year this soul had dried away slowly, but with fatal sureness. when the heart is dry, the eye is dry. on his departure from the galleys it had been nineteen years since he had shed a tear.

in the chapter 4, that day was composed of dawn, from one end to the other. all nature seemed to be having a holiday, and to be laughing. the flower-beds of saint-cloud perfumed the air; the breath of the seine rustled the leaves vaguely; the branches gesticulated in the wind, bees pillaged the jasmines; a whole bohemia of butterflies swooped dawn upon the yarrow, the clover, and the sterile oats; in the august park of the king of france there was a pack of vagabonds, the birds. it is very beautiful.

in the end, cosette and marius fell on their knees, in despair, suffocating with tears, each beneath ones of jean valjean’s hands. those august hands no longer moved. he had fallen backwards, the light of the candLes illuminated him. his was dead. the night was starLess and extremely dark. no doubt, in the gloom, some immense angle stood erect with wings outspread, awaiting that soul.only, many years ago, a hand wrote upon it in pencil these four lines, which have become gradually illegible beneath the rain and the dust, and which are, to-day, probably effaced:

he sleeps. although his fate was very strange, he lived. he died when he had no longer his angle. the thing came to pass simply, of itself, as the night comes when day is gone.
