Les Misérables
How can a single act of mercy redeem a human soul?
📝ONGO's Reflection
There is no one who does not know the name Jean Valjean, yet few have read this immense epic to its end. When I reached the moment Bishop Myriel offers unconditional forgiveness to the ex-convict who had stolen his silver candlesticks, my chest tightened and I could hardly turn the page. Hugo paints, on a grand scale, the light of humanity that never goes out even amid the most wretched reality. If you long to witness a sublime love that blossoms at the very edge of despair, open this book.
