209 years ago today Victor Hugo was born.
In High School my French teacher gave us an assignment to read a book by a French author (not in french...it was just HS after all)! I chose "Les Miserable" by Victor Hugo. Although I knew nothing about him or the book prior to my choice, I was thrilled with the story. It touches every human emotion.
Years later the story was adapted and became a world famous play. I was privileged to see the production and sat spellbound...once again I was wrapped in the story but this time with words and music...It is a fabulous production and well worth your time if you ever have the opportunity.
While I know Hugo never dreamed of such, in honor of his birthday a song from the play...enjoy!
