Les Misérables by Victor Hugo单词提示1.splash 落水声原文Chapter 6: The BarricadesIt is a long night at the barricade in the Rue de la Chanvrerie.The news is bad.More and more soldiers are arriving in the city, but the people stay in their homes.This time, they don't want to fight the government, only the students are still at the barricades waiting for the soldiers, bullets and death.Then a new man arrives at the barricade, a big man in dark clothes.Mario stares,it is Cosette's father, he is certain.Is he a friend or an enemy, who knows?Inside the tavern, Javert, too, waits for death.Rebels shoot spies, he knows that.Does he think about his life? Waiting there in the tavern? Is the law always right? Can a criminal change and be a good man?Does Javert ask these questions, who knows?Daylight comes and the shooting begins.“Rat ta tat, rat ta tat, rat ta tat…”, on the barricade, noise and shouting, cries and screams.Valjean saves Jean Enjolras's life.Two men die,Valjean carries the bodies into the tavern, sees Javert and Javert sees him.Then the shooting stops.The Rebelsneed more bullets, and Gavroche runs out to the front of the barricade.“Come back, Gavroche!”, he doesn't listen and start singing.There are dead soldiers lying in the street, Gavroche takes the bullets from their bags and puts them into his bag.He is small and quick, and his bag is nearly full before the soldiers start shooting at him.“Come back, Gavroche!”, he sings louder, but the fifth bullet hits him and he falls down in the street.He moves once, then falls back.Gavroche is dead.A child of the Paris streets, his singing now stopped forever,just another dead body in the rebellion.Smoke from the guns is everywhere, it is hard to see anything, but Marius runs out into the street, picks Gavroche up and runs back.He puts the small body on a table in the tavern and cries.It is going to be a long day.Behind the barricade, Enjolras talked to the men.“They're going to attack again soon, 60 soldiers to every one of us. Mariusand I are your two leaders, Gavroche brought us bullets, so let's use them well and fight to the end.” “Let's kill the spy now.” said one of the men.Then Valjean spoke, “give him to me. I can do that for you. I'd like to shoot him.”Enjolras looked at him, “You saved my life, friend. You can have the spy.”Valjean took Javert out of the tavern to a little street behind.He took out a knife.“Oh, a knife,” said Javert, “of course, a criminal's way to kill,so kill me and be quick.”Valjean said nothing.He cut the ropes around Javert's arms and legs, then stood up and said “You're free to go.”Javert stared,he could not understand this.“I live in the Rue de l'Homme-Armé. The next time we meet, you can arrest me. Now, go.”Javert turned and walked away.Valjean fired his gun into the air, then went back to the barricade.“It's done.”he told Enjolras.Now the second attack began.The government had more men, more guns, more bullets, and one by one the students began to die.Marius was on top of the barricade.He was one of the last men still alive, but then 1, 2 bullets hit him, and he fell.Two great hands at once, picked him up.Cosette whispered Marius, and then he went into that dark night.Jean Valjean knew Paris well, knew its little back streets, its secret places.He used them now with the dead or dying Marius in his arms.He ran through the back street, watching at every corner.Night came, and the sky was full of the smoke from the guns.Valjean stopped to rest, in Marius's pocket, he found a piece of paper, “Take my body to my grandfather's house.”The address was in the Le Marais, not far away.Valjean began to pick up Marius's body again, and a hand came down hard on his shoulder.Valjean turned, Javert stood behind him.“What are you doing here,” he said, “who is this man?”Valjean stood up.“Inspector Javert,” he said, “I told you I'm tired of running and hiding. You can arrest me, put me back in prison. I ask just one thing, help me to take this young man home, that is all.”“He's dead,”said Javert.“No, not yet,he lives in the Le Marais with his grandfather. Look…”He showed Javertthe piece of paper.Javert read the address, then called to a carriage along the street.They put Marius's body on the back seat and sat side by side on the front seat.At the house of Marius's grandfather, a servant opened the door.She gave a little scream when she saw Marius in Valjean's arms.“It's Monsieur Marius, take the boy in,” said Javert, “I'm waiting for you here at the door.”His voice was different.Uncertain,Valjean looked at him, then carried Marius's body into the house.“Call a doctor quickly!” he said to the servants, “He was out the barricade and has two bullets still in him.”Then he came back downstairs and out into the street.Javert was gone.Valjean looked up and down the street, nothing, nobody.Down by the River Seine, near the Place du Chatelet, Javert stoodon the bridge, looking down into the water.“What must I do?” he thought, but for the first time in his life he had no answer.Valjean's words at the barricade went through his head again and again,“You're free to go, free to go, free to go.”“I can do one of two things,”Javert said to the river, “I can arrest him or I cannot arrest him and say you are free to go. But the law is the law, so I must arrest him. But he gave me my life, so I must give him his life. But the law is the law.”And a voice in Javert's head said, “You worked for the law all your life, but Jean Valjean is a better man than you are.”For a long time, Javert stared down at the river, but the river gave him no answer to his question.Then he took off his hat and put it carefully on the ground.A moment later, he stood high on the bridge, then fell down into the dark river.There was a splash,and that was all.翻译第六章：街垒在尚夫雷里街的街垒，这是一个漫长的夜晚。局势很不妙。越来越多的士兵正在涌入这座城市，但普通百姓都躲在家里不敢出来。这一次，他们不想再反抗政府了。只有那些学生们依然坚守在街垒，等待着士兵、子弹和死亡。这时，街垒上来了一个陌生人，一个穿着深色衣服的高大男人。马吕斯死死盯着他，他确信那是珂赛特的父亲。他究竟是敌是友，谁又知道呢？在酒馆里，沙威也在等待着死亡。他知道，起义者们是会枪毙密探的。在酒馆里苦等的时候，他有没有思考过自己的人生？法律永远都是绝对正确的吗？一个罪犯真的能改邪归正，成为一个好人吗？沙威会问自己这些问题吗？谁又知道呢？天亮了，枪声随之响起。“哒哒哒，哒哒哒，哒哒哒……”街垒上充斥着巨大的噪音、呼喊声和惨叫声。冉阿让救了安灼拉的命。两名起义者牺牲了，冉阿让把他们的遗体抬进酒馆，他看见了沙威，沙威也看见了他。随后，枪声短暂地停歇了。起义者们需要更多的子弹，加夫罗什冲到了街垒的最前面。“回来，加夫罗什！”但他根本不听，反而唱起了歌。街上有几具士兵的尸体，加夫罗什从他们的弹药袋里掏出子弹，装进自己的口袋里。他身形娇小，动作敏捷，在士兵们开始向他开枪之前，他的口袋几乎已经装满了。“回来，加夫罗什！”他唱得更大声了，但第五颗子弹击中了他，他倒在了街上。他挣扎着动了一下，然后重重地倒了下去。加夫罗什死了。这个在巴黎街头长大的野孩子，他的歌声永远地停息了，他成了这场反叛中又一具冰冷的尸体。到处弥漫着枪炮的硝烟，什么都看不清。但马吕斯还是冲到了街上，抱起加夫罗什，又跑了回来。他把那小小的身躯放在酒馆的桌子上，痛哭失声。这将是漫长的一天。在街垒后方，安灼拉对众人说道：“他们很快又会发起进攻。敌军人数是我们的六十倍。马吕斯和我是你们的领袖，加夫罗什为我们弄来了子弹，让我们好好利用它们，战斗到最后一刻。”“现在就把那个密探毙了吧！”其中一个人喊道。这时，冉阿让开口了：“把他交给我吧。我来替你们解决，我想亲自枪毙他。”安灼拉看着他：“朋友，你救过我的命。你可以处置这个密探。”冉阿让把沙威从酒馆里带出来，走到后面的一条小巷。他掏出了一把刀。“哦，用刀啊，”沙威说，“当然，这是罪犯杀人的方式。那就杀了我吧，快点。”冉阿让一言不发。他割断了绑在沙威手脚上的绳子，然后站起身说：“你自由了，走吧。”沙威死死盯着他，完全无法理解这一切。“我住在武人街7号。下次我们再相遇，你可以逮捕我。现在，走吧。”沙威转过身，走了。冉阿让朝空中开了一枪，然后回到了街垒。“解决了。”他对安灼拉说。现在，第二次进攻开始了。政府军拥有更多的人、更多的枪和更多的子弹，学生们开始一个接一个地倒下。马吕斯站在街垒的最顶端。他是最后几个还活着的战士之一，但紧接着，一两颗子弹击中了他，他摔了下去。一双宽大的手瞬间将他接住。“珂赛特……”马吕斯喃喃低语，随后便陷入了无尽的黑暗。冉阿让对巴黎了如指掌，熟悉每一条幽暗的后巷和隐秘的角落。此刻，他正抱着垂死的马吕斯，在这些小巷中穿梭。他背着马吕斯在暗巷中狂奔，在每个拐角处都警惕地观察着。夜幕降临，天空中弥漫着火药的浓烟。冉阿让停下来稍作休息，他在马吕斯的口袋里摸到了一张纸条：“把我的遗体送到我祖父家。”地址在玛黑区，离这里不远。冉阿让重新背起马吕斯，突然，一只大手重重地拍在了他的肩膀上。冉阿让猛地回过头，沙威就站在他身后。“你在这里干什么？”沙威问，“这个人是谁？”冉阿让站起身。“沙威警长，”他说，“我告诉过你，我已经厌倦了东躲西藏。你可以逮捕我，把我重新关进监狱。但我只有一个请求：帮我把这个年轻人送回家，仅此而已。”“他已经死了。”沙威说。“不，还没死。他和祖父住在玛黑区。你看……”他把那张纸条拿给沙威看。沙威看了看地址，然后向街上叫来了一辆马车。他们把马吕斯放在马车后座上，两人并肩坐在前排。在马吕斯祖父的家门前，一个女仆打开了门。当她看到马吕斯躺在冉阿让的怀里时，忍不住发出一声尖叫。“是马吕斯少爷，快把少爷抬进去，”沙威说，“我就在门口等你。”他的声音听起来有些异样。冉阿让疑惑地看了他一眼，然后抱着马吕斯走进了屋子。“快叫医生！”他对仆人们说，“他刚从街垒上下来，体内还留着两颗子弹。”随后，他走下楼，回到了街上。沙威已经不见了。冉阿让环顾街道的两头，什么也没有，什么人也没有。在塞纳河畔、沙特雷广场附近，沙威正站在桥上，低头凝视着脚下的河水。“我该怎么办？”他想，但这是他一生中第一次找不到答案。冉阿让在街垒上说的话在他脑海中一遍又一遍地回荡：“你自由了，走吧，自由了，走吧。”“我只能做两件事中的一件，”沙威对着河水喃喃自语，“要么逮捕他，要么不逮捕他，告诉他‘你自由了'。但法律就是法律，所以我必须逮捕他。但他给了我一条命，所以我必须还他一条命。可是，法律就是法律啊。”沙威的脑海中有一个声音在说：“你一生都在为法律效劳，但冉阿让比你更是一个高尚的人。”沙威久久地凝视着脚下的河水，但河水并没有给他任何答案。然后，他摘下帽子，小心翼翼地放在地上。片刻之后，他站在高高的桥栏上，纵身跃入了黑暗的河水中。只听“扑通”一声水响，一切便归于死寂。

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo单词提示1.barricades 路障2.bullet 子弹3.Arsenal 军火库4.tavern 酒馆原文Chapter 5: Love and RebellionSo what is Marius's idea?It is this.He wants to marry Cosette, but he has no money, his grandfather has money.He must ask his grandfather, but his grandfather is an old man, and old men's ideas do not change easily.He shouts at Marius, Marius shouts back, and that is the end of that.The next evening, he goes as usual to the Rue Plume.There is nobody in the garden.The house is dark, the windows are closed, Cosette and her father are gone.Marius cannot live without Cosette.He wants to die, but Gavroche tells him that his friends need him.It is June 1832, and students and workers are running through the streets of Paris, bringing rebellion to the city and everyone must fight the government.Marius is soon at the barricades with a gun in his hand.He is happy, death can come at any moment with a bullet from a soldier's gun.These are dangerous times.Jean Valjean sees Inspector Javert in a street near the Rue Plume.What is he doing there? Are the police watching his house?Valjean does not wait the same night, he and Cosette leave Rue Plume.They moved to 7 Rue de l'Homme-Armé and begin to get ready for England.How can love find a way in these troubled times?When the soldiers attacked in front of the Arsenal building, the people turned and ran this way and that way through the streets of the city.Marius and his friends came to the Rue de la Chanvrerie, and they built their barricade there.It was, 2 meters high, made of wood and stone.Behind their barricade, the rebels waited for the soldiers.Night came,but nothing happened.Enjolras was the leader of the students, he called Gavroche to him.“You're small,”he said, “nobody sees you. Go and have a look round the city, and then bring us any news.”Just after midnight, Gavroche was back.“The soldiers aren't moving,” he said, “but there are a lot of them.”He stopped suddenly and whispered, “Hey, who's that? That tall man over there?”Enjolras and Marius turned to look.“I don't know him.” said Marius.“People are coming and going all night,” said Enjolras, “Why?Gavroche, do you know him?”“Yes,”whispered Gavroche, “he's not one of us, he's a spy, a police spy, name of Javert. He stopped me once down by the river, put me in prison all night.”“Are you certain about this, Gavroche?” said Marius.“I'm certain right,”said Gavroche “he's a spy.”The rebels did not like spies.Four of Enjolras's men jumped on Javert, pulled him into the tavern behind the barricade, and tied him to the wall.“Louise, shoot him now?” asked one of the men.“Later?” said Enjolras, “he can wait.”They went back outside to the barricade, and listened for the sound of soldiers.Gavroche found Marius at the far end of the barricade.“Marius,” he whispered, “on my way back here, I came past your rooms and went in.”“Why?”whispered Marius.“I was hungry,” said Gavroche, “the woman in your house is nice.She always gives me something to eat. But she had a letter for you. She gave it to me. It came two days ago, she said.”“A letter, a letter from whom?”Suddenly,there was hope in Marius's heart.“Quick, give it to me.”The letter was from Cosette.“My dearest father says we must leave at once. We go tonight to 7 Rue de l'Homme-Armé, and soon to England. Oh,my dear, how can I live without you? Cosette.”Marius read this letter four times and then kissed it.She still loved him.He must write back to her and say his last goodbye.There was still no sound of soldiers in the street.He found some paper and a pencil.“Cosette dearest, I came to the Rue Plume, but you were gone already. We cannot marry. I went to my grandfather, and he said no. I have no money, and you have no money. I love you, I can never forget you. The fighting begins here very soon. When I am dead, don't be sad. Our love was beautiful. Marius.”He called to Gavroche,“I want you to take this letter to the Rue de l'Homme-Armé. Can you do that for me?”“Yes, but, but now…” said Gavroche, “I am staying here for the fighting, I can shoot too, you know?”“Gavroche,you're just a boy, we don't want you to die in the fighting, stay away from the shooting. And this letter is very important to me. It must go now. I want you to put it into Cosette's hands. Please, Gavroche.”“Oh, very well.”said Gavroche.He took the letter, put it inside his shirt, and ran off into the dark.When Valjeanand Cosette left the house in Rue Plumet, Cosette was very sad.Valjean saw this, but he said nothing.In the Rue de l'Homme-Armé, Cosette stayed in her bedroom, Toussaint took her meals up to her in the night.Valjean could not sleep.The city was quiet, but for how long?He went outside the house and stood in the street, listening.There were voices in the next street, and then he heard singing, a boy singing.Gavroche came up the street, looking at the house numbers.He saw Valjean and stopped.“Well, young man, watch the news,” said Valjean,“The news is now I'm hungry.” said Gavroche.Valjean put his hand in his pocket and found a five-franc piece.Gavroche stared at it.He didn't see many five-franc pieces, and he was very pleased to see this one.He put it in his pocket.“You're all right,” he said, “Do you live in this street? Do you know number 7?”“What do you want with number 7?” said Valjean.“Letter for someone.” said Gavroche.“A woman?”Valjean stared at him.He felt cold.“A woman.”“Cosette”, he remembered once, the young man in the Luxembourg, he tried to smile.“That's the letter for Cosette,” he said, “I'm waiting for it.”“Yes, that's her. Well, here you are.” said Gavroche, “It comes from the barricade in the Rue de la Chanvrerie. I'm going back there now. Goodnight, monsieur.”Jean Valjean went back into the house with Marius's letter.He read it quickly.“I love you, I can never forget you…”So Cosette, his dear, dear daughter, was in love, she was his world.Without her, his life was nothing, he could not even think about it.“When I am dead, don't be sad”, those words gave him hope.So the young man was one of the rebels at the barricade.“When the soldiers start shooting,” he thought, “that's the end of all the rebels. I do nothing, I say nothing, I keep this letter and poof, nothing changes in our lives.”But Valjean did not feel easy, he remembered all their happy years as father and daughter.And he saw again Cosette's sad eyes, when they left the Rue Plumet.How could he take her away to England?He turned and went out of the room.A little later, he left the house wearing dark clothes and carrying a gun, and walked away down the street.翻译第五章：爱与反叛那么，马吕斯的计划究竟是什么呢？其实很简单。他想娶珂赛特，但他身无分文，而他的祖父却很有钱。他必须去求祖父，但祖父是个老人，而老人的观念是很难改变的。祖父冲他大吼，马吕斯也毫不退让地顶嘴，结果可想而知，谈话不欢而散。第二天傍晚，他像往常一样来到普吕梅街。花园里空无一人。整栋房子漆黑一片，窗户紧闭，珂赛特和她父亲已经搬走了。没有珂赛特，马吕斯根本活不下去。他万念俱灰，只想一死了之，但加夫罗什告诉他，他的朋友们需要他。那是1832年6月，学生和工人们涌上巴黎的街头，将反叛的火种播撒到整座城市，所有人都起来反抗政府。很快，马吕斯便手持火枪，站在了街垒之后。他感到一种悲壮的决绝，因为士兵的子弹随时都可能夺走他的生命。这是一个动荡危险的时代。冉阿让在普吕梅街附近的一条街上看见了沙威警长。他在那儿干什么？警察是不是在监视他的住处？冉阿让没有等到天亮，当晚便带着珂赛特离开了普吕梅街。他们搬到了武人街7号，并开始为前往英国做准备。在这样的乱世之中，爱情该何去何从？当士兵们在兵工厂大楼前发起进攻时，人群四散奔逃，在城市的街巷中四处乱窜。马吕斯和他的朋友们来到了尚夫雷里街，在那里筑起了一座街垒。街垒有两米多高，由木头和石头堆砌而成。在街垒后方，起义者们严阵以待，等待着士兵的到来。夜幕降临，但什么也没有发生。安灼拉是学生们的领袖，他把加夫罗什叫到身边。“你个子小，”他说，“没人会注意到你。去城里侦察一下，然后把消息带回来。”刚过午夜，加夫罗什就回来了。“士兵们还没行动，”他说，“但人非常多。”他突然停下脚步，压低声音说：“嘿，那是谁？那边那个高个子男人？”安灼拉和马吕斯转头望去。“我不认识他。”马吕斯说。“整晚都有人在街垒周围走来走去，”安灼拉说，“怎么回事？加夫罗什，你认识他吗？”“认识，”加夫罗什悄声说，“他不是我们的人，是个密探，警察的密探，名叫沙威。他有一次在河边把我拦住，把我关了一整夜。”“你确定吗，加夫罗什？”马吕斯问。“我百分之百确定，”加夫罗什说，“他就是个密探。”起义者们最痛恨密探。安灼拉手下的四个人猛扑向沙威，把他拽进街垒后面的酒馆，牢牢地绑在墙上。“路易，现在就把他毙了吗？”其中一个人问。“晚点再说，”安灼拉说，“他可以先留着。”他们回到街垒外，继续倾听是否有士兵逼近的脚步声。加夫罗什在街垒的尽头找到了马吕斯。“马吕斯，”他低声说，“我回来的路上，经过你的住处，就顺便进去了一趟。”“去干什么？”马吕斯问。“我饿了，”加夫罗什说，“你屋里的那个女人人挺好的，总是给我点吃的。不过她有一封给你的信。她说那是两天前到的，就交给了我。”“一封信？谁的信？”马吕斯的心里突然燃起了一丝希望。“快，给我！”那是珂赛特写来的信。“我最亲爱的父亲说我们必须立刻离开。我们今晚就要搬到武人街7号，很快就会去英国。哦，亲爱的，没有你我该怎么活？珂赛特。”马吕斯把信读了四遍，然后深深地吻了它。她依然爱着他。他必须给她写封回信，作最后的道别。街上依然没有士兵的动静。他找来纸笔。“我最亲爱的珂赛特：我去了普吕梅街，但你们已经走了。我们无法结婚了。我去求了祖父，但他拒绝了。我没有钱，你也没有。我爱你，我永远无法将你忘记。这里的战斗马上就要打响了。当我死后，请不要悲伤。我们的爱是美好的。马吕斯。”他叫来加夫罗什：“我想让你把这封信送到武人街。你能帮我这个忙吗？”“能是能，但现在……”加夫罗什说，“我要留在这里参加战斗，你知道吗，我也能开枪的？”“加夫罗什，你只是个孩子，我们不想让你死在战场上，离枪林弹雨远点。而且这封信对我来说至关重要。它必须立刻送出。我要你亲手交到珂赛特手里。求你了，加夫罗什。”“哦，那好吧。”加夫罗什说。他接过信，把它塞进衬衫里，一头扎进了黑夜中。当冉阿让和珂赛特离开普吕梅街的住处时，珂赛特伤心欲绝。冉阿让看在眼里，却什么也没说。在武人街的住处，珂赛特把自己关在卧室里，夜里由老女仆杜桑把饭菜端上去给她。冉阿让无法入睡。城市虽然安静，但这平静又能维持多久呢？他走出屋子，站在街上侧耳倾听。邻街传来了人声，接着他又听到了歌声，是一个男孩在唱歌。加夫罗什顺着街道走来，一边走一边看着门牌号。他看见了冉阿让，便停了下来。“小伙子，有什么消息吗？”冉阿让问。“现在的消息就是：我饿了。”加夫罗什回答。冉阿让把手伸进口袋，摸出一枚五法郎的硬币。加夫罗什盯着那枚硬币。他很少能见到五法郎的硬币，看到它让他非常高兴。他把硬币装进口袋。“你人不错，”他说，“你住在这条街上吗？你知道7号在哪儿吗？”“你找7号干什么？”冉阿让问。“给里面的人送信。”加夫罗什说。“是给一位女士的吗？”冉阿让紧紧盯着他。他感到一阵寒意。“是给一位女士的。”“珂赛特……”他想起了卢森堡公园里的那个年轻人，勉强挤出一丝微笑。“那是给珂赛特的信，”他说，“我在等这封信。”“对，就是给她的。喏，给你。”加夫罗什说，“信是从尚夫雷里街的街垒送来的。我现在得回去了。晚安，先生。”冉阿让拿着马吕斯的信回到了屋里。他飞快地看了一遍。“我爱你，我永远无法将你忘记……”原来，他亲爱的女儿恋爱了。她就是他的一切。如果没有她，他的生命将毫无意义，他甚至不敢去想那种可能。“当我死后，请不要悲伤”，这句话给了他一丝希望。原来，那个年轻人就是街垒里的起义者之一。“一旦士兵们开火，”他想，“那些起义者就全完了。我什么都不做，什么都不说，只要把这封信藏起来，然后‘噗'的一下，我们俩的生活就不会有任何改变。”但冉阿让的心里并不踏实。他回想起了他们作为父女相伴的那些快乐岁月。他又看到了离开普吕梅街时，珂赛特那双悲伤的眼睛。他怎么能就这样把她强行带到英国去呢？他转过身，走出了房间。

In this episode of “Half Hour,” we take a deeper dive into Hudson Valley Shakespeare's Les Misérables, now playing at the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center in Garrison, New York. We break down the plot, the June Rebellion of 1832, and how director Jenn Thompson's outdoor staging uses the Hudson Valley landscape, a smaller ensemble, double casting, and a central French flag to reshape the story's scale and emotional impact. We discuss Josh Young's Jean Valjean, Haley Dortch's Fantine and Enjolras, Denis Lambert's Javert, Ana Paola Garcia's Cosette, Haley Rose Ciaramella's Éponine, David Beach and Nance Williamson as the Thénardiers, and the creative choices that bring the musical's ideas of mercy, faith, justice, sacrifice, and hope into focus. We also talk about the new Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, what a permanent home means for Hudson Valley Shakespeare, and why Les Misérables continues to connect with audiences.

16 février 1833. Marius et Cosette viennent de se marier : ils sont désormais heureux et riches. Mais une ombre vient assombrir cette joie : Jean Valjean, rongé par sa conscience, décide de révéler à Marius son passé de forçat. Il lui avoue qu'il n'est pas le père de Cosette et qu'il a vécu sous un faux nom. Par souci d'honnêteté, Jean Valjean choisit de s'effacer de la vie du couple, refusant de ternir leur avenir avec son passé. Cosette, ignorante de cette révélation, ne comprend pas le changement de comportement de ce père qu'elle chérit tant.

Sur la barricade, rue de la Chanvrerie, les insurgés épuisés livrent une résistance héroïque contre les forces de l'ordre. La barricade devient un enfer incandescent où les derniers défenseurs tombent un à un. Marius, grièvement blessé, est sauvé par Jean Valjean, qui le transporte à travers les égouts de Paris. Victor Hugo compare ce monde souterrain à l'intestin de la ville qui devient le symbole d'un Paris à la fois monstrueux et vital. Dans cette obscurité fétide, Valjean avance, porté par l'espoir et la lumière au bout du tunnel.

Le 6 juin 1832, à Paris, Marius Pontmercy rejoint ses amis révolutionnaires du groupe de l'ABC sur la barricade de la rue de la Chanvrerie, déterminé à mourir pour ses idéaux. La veille, il a erré dans les rues, accablé par le départ soudain de Cosette, la jeune femme qu'il aime passionnément.

Mais la lutte est violente, et plusieurs insurgés perdent la vie. Parmi eux se trouve Éponine Thénardier, déguisée en garçon pour rejoindre Marius, dont elle est secrètement amoureuse. Touchée par une balle, elle remet à Marius une lettre que Cosette lui avait confiée, avant de mourir dans les bras du jeune homme.Fiction radiophonique d'après des morceaux choisis des Misérables de Victor Hugo (Quatrième partie : Le 5 juin 1832) - Réalisation : Henri Soubeyran - Adaptation : Roger Pillaudin - Première diffusion : 20/03/1962 sur France III National - Avec : Jean Vilar, Georges Wilson, Jacques Dasque, Patrick Lemaitre, Christiane Lasquin, René Farabet, Robert Party, Philippe Laudenbach, Claude Arlay, Jean Péméja et Jean Jacques Lagarde - Un podcast INA.***Distribué par Audiomeans.

And I can hear them now! This week, Emily and V pre-emptively apologize for their French accents and inability to pronounce "Enjolras" as we look at the Les Mis fandom holiday of Barricade Day. While the real event was an unmitigated tragedy, and it was also an unmitigated tragedy in the book, musical, and movie adaptations, Barricade Day is a wholesome fandom holiday for Les Mis fans to gather and write, draw, sing, and hope for a happier ending for their beloved Amis de l'ABCs. We love it. This is also a very silly and loosey-goosey episode to make up for the total bummer of last week. It is not... misérable, one might say.

Cw: mention of plane crash, war mention Nemo and Stevie record the first cross-continental episode, we talk about Hugo's hatred of Taylor Swift's lifestyle, lions and phoenixes, and Hugo/Enjolras' hope for a united states of Europe. There's some thinking about politics and then Javert and Enjolras have some kinky times on a table with some rope.   'The worse side, [Enjolras] cannot imagine. He's part of it already. The blond hair, fair skin and fine profile that Hugo gives him' adds to ‘his exclusive devotion to a political cause, the charisma he exercises over others more sensible than he is, his gifts for public speaking and for military action and his unshakeable faith in the purifying virtue of violence speak to us now of the kind of men who turned the twentieth century not into utopia but into sheer hell'  David Bellos, The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary Adventure of Les Misérables.

«Dompter la matière, c'est le premier pas; réaliser l'idéal, c'est le second.» Enjolras, parfait révolutionnaire républicain créé par Victor Hugo dans Les Misérables, rapproche lors d'un grand discours les prouesses scientifiques de l'époque au retour espéré de la république. La matière, pour lui, c'est le feu, dompté par la locomotive, mais aussi l'air, dompté par le ballon dirigeable, et l'eau, domptée par le bateau à vapeur. Dany, lui, a tenté de dompter les éléments. Plusieurs fois. Jusqu'à, enfin, réaliser l'idéal. L'histoire de Dany est racontée au micro de Capucine Rouault.

We are here! Aaron's first big motion picture role! He captured our hearts and Inspector Javert as the barricade building, revolutionary Enjolras in Les Miserable. This role of Aaron's holds a special place for me, as it was my first experience with Aaron as an actor and hearing his voice. So much of this role was a dream come true for Aaron and he was hand selected for very specific reason by the producers, and he plays a critical role in why we are able to see the groundbreaking, live singing musical movie that we know and love today. Here's episode 7- One Day More
