![]() ![]() The chapter is broken into individual subtext that are divided in numeric order from one to nine. The chapter my blog focuses mainly on is the first one, “The Braindead Megaphone”. The essay themselves are separated as somewhat chapters however, some of the essays have subtopics. The book is entitled, The Braindead Megaphone and the layout of it itself is quite interesting. I’ve selected to review the first “chapter” of essays within the book written by George Saunders, which is a collection of essays. If you are interested in reading a good collection of essays, I have just the selection for you.įor my blog this week, I decided to do somewhat of an excerpt from a larger work. “Is human nature such that, under certain conditions, stupidity can come to dominate, infecting the brighter quadrants, dragging everybody down with it?”(Saunders 7) ![]()

![]() 'All human life is here' Cameron Mackintosh, producer of the musical Les Misérables 'One of the half-dozen greatest novels of the world' Upton Sinclair 'A great writer - inventive, witty, sly, innovatory' A. Les Miserables: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Publisher: Penguin Classics ISBN: 9780143107569 Pages: 1456 Righton Books. Victor Hugo (1802-85) wrote volumes of criticism, Romantic costume dramas, satirical verse and political journalism but is best remembered for his novels, especially Notre-Dame de Paris (1831), also known as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Les Misérables (1862) which was adapted into one of the most successful musicals of all time. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine (Anne Hathaway), driven to prostitution by poverty. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience, when, owing to a case of mistaken identity, another man is arrested in his place and by the relentless investigations of the dogged Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe). Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now a major musical film from Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech), starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway, and also featuring Amanda Seyfreid, Helena Bonham-Carter and Sacha Baron-Cohen, Victor Hugo's Les Misérables is one of the great works of western literature.

I’d sprinkled my previous Maple Valley stories with intriguing side characters and I just knew that one day they’d all need their own stories. And I was really asking myself that same question as I wrote it. Which sounds incredibly melancholy, but really, it was so interesting for me to write because I kept thinking to myself, “What if I’d lost all that Marshall has lost? Would I fall apart, too? Would I lose my faith, too?” There’s even a spot where Marshall asks his sister if she could keep believing that God is good and that He loves her if she’d lost what he’s lost. Melissa: I don’t know why, but when I first started thinking about this book (about three years ago, actually!) I was really intrigued at the thought of writing about a man who is incredibly broken, who has lost everything in his life.
