The first thing I noticed in the Fred Cavaye's 2026 Les Mis trailer is that the actor who playing Marius gives Enjolras vibes then Marius (probably cuz he looks like the actor who played Saint-Just)

#I’m surprisingly excited honestly lol #I guess I miss watching Les Mis adaptations #More importantly…missing being a HATER

I just noticed this tag on my post from a long time…It mostly comes down to the text layout and the overall size and format of the edition.

These are all more or less complete editions as far as I can tell, there’s nothing to suggest that any of them has been abridged.

So, this is an English edition and an Italian edition and as you can see, they’re both BRICKS.

The Italian version contains a few illustrations but the English version contains none.

This is what the text looks like:

Here’s an Italian edition and a French edition. They’re not nearly as big but they’re taller and WITH illustrations.

and this is what the text looks like and it looks messier.

I’m really happy that one of the illustrators from an edition I own FINALLY got the recognition they deserve! There’s barely any information about illustrators in general and some editions don’t even mention their names.

Bonus:

He’ll cling to any excuse to keep his beard.

I think I should come to terms with the fact that some books are better watched than read and that’s okay.

#That’s how I feel about Jane Austen and Dostoevsky books #I LOVE watching their stories but I don't think | want to read them honestly #It's just not that exciting for me to read even when I try it just doesn't work for me #at least for now

Out of nowhere YouTube recommended an episode of a cartoon called “‏blame it on hugo!” where the characters travel back in time to meet Victor Hugo and ask him about Les Misérables.

These are just a few clips from the episode.

Btw if you watch the episode you’ll notice that they made him the drama queen that he is.

I don’t care if Valjean’s beard isn’t canon he’ll always be bearded to me.

Every time I read a book that numbers its chapters instead of giving them titles, I appreciate Hugo’s novels even more. Les Misérables is a MASSIVE book yet I can always find what I’m looking for easily thanks to its chapter titles.

In every classic book there’s a horse suffering.

Les Misérables, The Penguin Clothbound Classics Translated & Introduced By Norman Denny (2012)

I realized that this collection isn’t really meant for reading…it’s too fragile. The book cover is already starting to peel even though I barely touch it! I only open it when I’m checking translation differences.

Illustrated by Renato Guttuso (Italian edition, 1966)

HAPPY LATE BARRICADE DAY!!

Every time I see book covers made with AI images or movie posters:

#Are the worlds running out of creativity or getting lazy?#I’d rather buy an old nasty edition than this

Since when did Marius have a mustache? I don’t remember anything about it! several illustrated editions gave him one.

I know illustrations might not be entirely accurate many times but like…WHY? It doesn't even suit him.

The cover of this edition of Les Misérables on Amazon always looked familiar to me and it turns out I had seen it before in one of my art books!

It’s the 1892 poster “Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant” by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

For the longest time I wanted a book about historical costumes and I finally got one! I honestly didn’t do much research and just went with what I found so I hope it’s a good one.

I’m so excited cuz I’ve always loved seeing traditional clothing in movies, series, illustrated books, and especially DOLLS!!! even if they’re not very accurate most of the time and sometimes even controversial but they’ve still helped my interest grow over time.

This is “The Complete Costume History” by Auguste Racinet, a 2019 TASCHEN reprint with color illustrations. It was originally published in France between 1876 and 1888.
