 Posted Jul 13, 2004 by Ketchra First of all I would like to offer many kudos in congratulations for your little pages. Autodidact that I am, I will no doubt come back soon and perhaps contribute to the effort. Having recently discovered Victor Hugo but finding that I also knew nothing about the man, I found your site an interesting place to start.
To begin with, I had privately thought "Ninety-Three" to be one of his first, not his last and greatest novel. (Perhaps it was the style, coupled with the fact few people have heard of it as much as, say, “Le Mis.”) I also found something of a revelation in the fact that Cimourdain has only one defender (I, apparently, am only the second in the world that has acknowledged it to date, feeling that his love and death redeems him as a character.) However, upon quickly clicking on the link to find out who my companion was, I was rather surprised.
Me and Stalin. Gee.
I suppose if both of us are ever stuck in an elevator in the afterlife, we'll at least have something to talk about.
