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。

How many times do we really have to forgive someone? This week, Peter Walsh and Rob Schwartz explore Matthew 18:21–35, where the apostle Peter tries to put a number on forgiveness and Jesus responds by blowing up the whole accounting system. But the conversation quickly gets harder: Is forgiveness the same thing as reconciliation? What happens when someone continues to hurt us? And what are we supposed to do with a parable about mercy that ends with torture?Questions for ReflectionThemes & ApplicationPeter distinguishes forgiveness from reconciliation: reconciliation involves restoring a relationship, while forgiveness can still be possible when reconciliation is unsafe or impossible. How does this distinction change the way we hear Jesus' command to forgive? How can we forgive while still naming harm and maintaining necessary boundaries? Peter and Rob wrestle with the parable's disturbing conclusion, where the unforgiving servant is handed over to be tortured. Is the king meant to be a straightforward representation of God? How should we interpret violent images of judgment in Matthew alongside Jesus' larger message of mercy, love, and liberation? Thomas G. Long describes some of Matthew's stories as “nightmare parables,” comparing their frightening imagery to A Christmas Carol. Scrooge sees the terrifying destination of his present way of living precisely so that he can wake up and choose another path. Could Jesus' frightening parable be intended to awaken us rather than simply threaten us? When can uncomfortable or frightening stories reveal something that gentler language cannot? Personal ReflectionRob tells the story of accidentally breaking a statue belonging to a friend's mother and expecting punishment, only to hear her say, “I forgive you.” When have you received grace or forgiveness that you did not think you deserved? Did that experience change the way you treated someone else later? The episode repeatedly returns to the image of keeping a ledger of what other people owe us. Whose name are you most tempted to keep in your own mental ledger? What would you fear losing if you stopped keeping track?Peter expands the conversation from forgiving others to forgiving ourselves. Are there mistakes, failures, or regrets for which you find it easier to believe God forgives you than to forgive yourself? What might it mean to receive grace deeply enough to stop continually punishing ourselves? Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsThe contrast between Lamech's seventy-sevenfold vengeance and Jesus' seventy-sevenfold forgiveness presents two radically different ways of organizing human relationships. What would families, churches, communities, or nations look like if forgiveness rather than retaliation were the thing that multiplied?The unforgiving servant receives freedom but then recreates the same system of debt and punishment for someone else. Why do people who have experienced oppression, hurt, or judgment sometimes reproduce those same patterns when they gain power? What allows grace to genuinely transform us rather than simply benefit us?Peter ends by describing forgiveness as being released from the “gunk of our psyche” that weighs us down, while also noting that the struggle to forgive is not uniquely Christian but deeply human. What might Christianity contribute to the broader human struggle with resentment, vengeance, guilt, and forgiveness?References & ResourcesVocabularySeventy-Seven / Seventy Times Seven — The translation  varies, but the exaggerated number communicates forgiveness beyond calculation. Lamech — A descendant of Cain who boasts in Genesis 4:23–24 that if Cain is avenged sevenfold, Lamech will be avenged seventy-sevenfold. Nightmare Parable — Thomas G. Long's term for frightening parabolic imagery that exposes the destructive destination of a way of life and shocks the listener toward another possibility.ScriptureGenesis 4:23–24 — Lamech's boast of seventy-sevenfold vengeance, discussed as a possible biblical backdrop and reversal for Jesus' teaching on forgiveness.Books & LiteratureThomas G. Long, Proclaiming the Parables — Peter's primary resource for interpreting Matthew's harsh judgment imagery.

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.

LZ interviews West End leading man Bradley Jaden, recently seen as Inspector Javert in Les Misérables: The Arena Concert at Radio City Music Hall, about the show's renewed impact and Jaden's approach to portraying Javert with increasing vulnerability and a visible “slow demise.” Jaden discusses moving to New York and feeling lonely and overwhelmed by the sudden shift in attention, navigating introversion in an extrovert-facing career, losing significant weight after being told it would help his success, and living with body dysmorphia. He shares surviving a suicide attempt and how Les Mis has been therapeutic, enabling open conversations about men's mental health. They also cover his asthma as a childhood challenge that became a “superpower,” his stage name's origin, his support network, and end with a brief lyric exchange and Jaden's statement, “I… am beautiful because… I love deep.”Menu: 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:23 Mirror Check In03:44 Les Mis Resurgence05:02 New York Adjustment09:09 Introvert in Spotlight10:16 Weight and Image Pressure13:57 Stage Name Origin15:09 Career Gratitude and Growth18:53 Support Network and Mentors24:57 Why His Javert Hits Different26:58 Javert Foundations and Auditions31:57 Mental Health and Method41:30 Audience Connection and Purpose43:30 No Singing Lessons Reveal44:01 No Sheet Music Needed44:51 Finding Purpose in Small Wins45:24 First Auditions and Miss Saigon Break47:12 Les Mis Praise and Afterglow48:09 Google Rumors and Relationship Truth50:17 Learning Self Love50:39 Five Things I Like About Me53:58 Asthma Turned Superpower55:58 Rapid Fire Broadway Picks59:15 Singing Challenge and Stars Tease01:05:58 Heartfelt Wrap Up and Beautiful Because

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo原文Chapter 3: CosetteMonsieur Madeleine is of course Jean Valjean.You knew that already after Denya.He sells the bishop's silver plates, but keeps the candlesticks.He comes to Montroy,builds his factory, works hard, is kind to other people.He makes a new good life, and is true to the bishop of Denya.But after Valjean left prison in Toulon and before he came to Denya, he was hungry, and in a street in Toulon he stole some money from a boy, just one franc, to buy bread.Because he did this, the law in France says that prisoner Valjean must go back to prison and stay there for life.He can never be a free man again.And so we meet Javert.Before Montroy,he was a prison guard at Toulon.The law is his god, and he hates all criminals.He remembers Jean Valjean, that big strong man, very well.He wants to see him in prison again, and he Inspector Javert is going to put him there.Jean Valjean remembers Javert now.He remembers the cold eyes, the hard voice, the cruel prison guard's smile.He remembers and is afraid.He knows that Javert is his enemy for life, but he remembers Fantine, too.He remembers her dying words, “Please take care of Cosette, please.”How can he leave this little girl without a mother, without a friend in the world?He must find her, Javert or no Javert.Monsieur and Madame Thenardier lived in a village called Montfermeil near Paris.There was no water in the village, and the nearest water was a small river in a wood 15 minutes ' walk away.People carried the water in buckets to their houses.Cosette hated that wood.At night, the trees made noises.She was frightened of the noises, frightened of the dark, and with a heavy bucket of water it was a long walk home.One dark winter night in 1823, Madame Thenardier sent Cosette out to the river for water.Cosette ran to the river.And then, with her heavy bucket of water, she began to walk home.The trees were noisy tonight, whispering and laughing at her.And the little girl began to cry.“Oh, please God, help me, please, dear God.”And suddenly the bucket was gone.A great hand came down and took it from her.She looked up and saw big man in an old yellow coat.Sometimes we know without words when something good is happening.The little girl knew that now, and she was not frightened of the big man, not a bit.The man spoke to her child, “This is a very heavy bucket. Shall I carry it for you?”“Yes, monsieur.”“How old are you?”“I'm 8 years old, monsieur.”“Where is your mother?”“I don't know,”said the child, “I haven't got a mother.”“What's your name?”“Cosette.”The big man stopped, he put the bucket down and looked into Cosette's face.“Why are you carrying a heavy bucket of water at this time of night, who sent you?”“Madame Thenardier.”“I would like to talk to this Madame Thenardier. Shall we go and see her?”“Yes,monsieur.”Cosette was not afraid of the tree noises now.This big man with his gentle voice was a new and wonderful thing in her life.They walked to the Thenardier's house.“Please,monsieur, can I carry the bucket now?”“But why?”“I can't ask people for help. Madame says she hits me when I do that,” Cosette said, “she hits me all the time.”He gave her the bucket.The Thenardiers were very surprised to see Cosette's new friend, this big man in the old yellow coat.Inside the house, the big man looked at Cosette.He saw her thin clothes, her dirty hair, her big frightened eyes.She was small for her 8 years.Her hands were red from kitchen work, and she had no shoes.“Why does this child have no shoes on her feet on this cold winter night?” He said to Madame Thenardier.Madame Thenardier looked at Cosette angrily.“Go into the kitchen, Cosette. There is work to do, go. And are you?Monsieur.” Thenardier said.“I am here for Fantine, the child's mother,” said the big man. “You don't need to know my name. Fantine is dead, so you can get no more money from her here.”He put some money on the table is 1500 francs.“Now call the child I'm taking her away.”When Jean Valjean and Cosette left Montfermeil, Cosette did not look back.She never wanted to see Madame Thenardier again.She put her cold little hand into Valjean's great hand and looked up into his face.“Monsieur,”she said, “can I, can I call you Father?”Valjean looked down at her big round eyes.“Yes,” he said.He did not know love, he did not understand love, but in that moment, suddenly he felt a father's love for this small child.“Yes,” he said again, “yes, you can call me father, it's a good name.”Hand in hand,they walked away on the road to Paris.In Paris,Cosette learn to laugh, and to sing like a bird, and to be happy.Jean Valjean learned to be father and mother to this child, and he loved her dearly.But they lived quietly, moved house often, and only went out at night.Because Javert too was in Paris.When Valjean escaped from Montroy, Javert came to Paris to look for him. He was now an important inspector in the Paris police.Every criminal in Paris was afraid of Inspector Javert.Once Valjeansaw Javert by the river, and the next day he looked for a new place to live.He found one behind the high walls of a girl school.The school gave Valjean a job as a gardener, and he lived in a little house in the big gardens.Cosette lived in the school, but every day, she came to the gardener's little house for one hour.They talked,and they sang, and they read books.It was the happiest hour in the day for her and for Jean Valjean.And so the years passed.翻译第三章：珂赛特马德兰先生当然就是冉阿让。在迪涅镇发生的那些事之后，你其实就已经知道了。他卖掉了主教给的银餐盘，却留下了那对银烛台。他来到蒙特勒伊，建起工厂，拼命工作，对他人仁慈宽厚。他开启了一段崭新而向善的人生，也没有辜负迪涅主教的期望。但是，在冉阿让离开土伦监狱、抵达迪涅镇之前，他曾饱受饥饿之苦。在土伦的一条街上，为了买面包，他从一个男孩那里偷了钱——仅仅只有一法郎。就因为这个，法国的法律规定，囚犯冉阿让必须重返监狱，并在那里度过余生。他再也无法成为一个自由人了。于是，我们认识了沙威。在来到蒙特勒伊之前，他是土伦监狱的一名狱卒。法律就是他的神明，他痛恨一切罪犯。他非常清楚地记得冉阿让——那个高大强壮的男人。他想再次看到冉阿让身陷囹圄，而他沙威警长，就要亲手把他送进去。此时的冉阿让也想起了沙威。他记得那双冰冷的眼睛、那副生硬的嗓音，还有狱卒那残忍的微笑。他回忆起了这一切，心中充满恐惧。他知道沙威将是他一生的死敌，但他同样想起了芳汀。他记起了她临终前的话语：“求您照顾珂赛特，求求您了。”他怎么能把这个没有母亲、在世上举目无亲的小女孩孤零零地丢下呢？他必须找到她，无论有没有沙威的阻拦。德纳第夫妇住在巴黎附近一个叫蒙费梅伊的村子里。村里没有水，最近的水源在十五分钟路程外的一片树林里的一条小河。人们只能提着水桶把水扛回家。珂赛特恨透了那片树林。一到夜里，树木就会发出各种声响。她害怕那些声音，害怕黑暗，而且提着沉甸甸的水桶，回家的路显得格外漫长。1823年一个漆黑的冬夜，德纳第太太又打发珂赛特去河边打水。珂赛特一路小跑来到河边。然后，提着那桶沉重的水，她开始往回走。今晚树林里的树木喧闹不止，仿佛在对着她窃窃私语、嘲笑她。小女孩忍不住哭了起来。“哦，上帝啊，求求您帮帮我，仁慈的上帝啊。”突然，水桶从她手里消失了。一只宽大的手伸下来，替她接过了水桶。她抬起头，看到一个穿着破旧黄外套的高大男人。有时候，无需言语，我们也能感觉到好事正在发生。小女孩此刻就明白了，她一点儿也不害怕这个高大的男人。男人用对孩子说话的温柔语气对她说：“这桶水太沉了。我帮你提好吗？”“好的，先生。”“你几岁了？”“我8岁了，先生。”“你妈妈在哪儿？”“我不知道，”孩子说，“我没有妈妈。”“你叫什么名字？”“珂赛特。”高大的男人停下脚步，放下水桶，端详着珂赛特的脸。“这么晚了，谁派你出来提这么重的一桶水？”“德纳第太太。”“我想和这位德纳第太太谈谈。我们一起去见见她好吗？”“好的，先生。”此时的珂赛特已经不再害怕树林里的声响了。这个说话温柔的高大男人，成了她生命中一个全新而美好的存在。他们一起走到了德纳第家。“先生，求求您，现在我可以自己提水桶了吗？”“为什么呢？”“我不能向别人求助。太太说，如果我要是求助，她就会打我。”珂赛特说，“她总是打我。”他把水桶还给了她。看到珂赛特的新朋友——这个穿着破旧黄外套的高大男人，德纳第夫妇感到非常惊讶。在屋里，高大男人仔细打量着珂赛特。他看到她单薄的衣服、脏乱的头发，还有那双充满惊恐的大眼睛。八岁的她，个头比同龄人小得多。她的双手因为干厨房的粗活而通红，脚上连双鞋都没有。“这么冷的冬夜，这孩子怎么连双鞋都没穿？”他问德纳第太太。德纳第太太恶狠狠地瞪了珂赛特一眼。“进厨房去，珂赛特。还有活儿要干呢，快去。那么您呢，先生？”德纳第太太问道。“我是为了这孩子母亲芳汀的事来的，”高大男人说，“你们不必知道我的名字。芳汀已经死了，你们再也别想从她那儿要到一分钱了。”他把一些钱放在桌上——那是1500法郎。“现在把孩子叫来，我要带她走。”当冉阿让和珂赛特离开蒙费梅伊时，珂赛特没有回头。她再也不想见到德纳第太太了。她把冰冷的小手放进冉阿让宽大的手掌里，仰起头看着他的脸。“先生，”她说，“我，我可以叫您父亲吗？”冉阿让低头看着她那双圆溜溜的大眼睛。“可以。”他说。他曾经不懂得爱，也不明白什么是爱，但在那一刻，他突然对这个小小的孩子生出了一种深沉的父爱。“可以，”他又说了一遍，“是的，你可以叫我父亲，这是一个很好的称呼。”他们手牵着手，走在通往巴黎的路上。在巴黎，珂赛特学会了笑，学会了像小鸟一样唱歌，学会了感受快乐。冉阿让也学着同时扮演这个孩子的父亲和母亲，他深深地爱着她。但他们过着深居简出的生活，经常搬家，并且只在夜里出门。因为沙威也来到了巴黎。当冉阿让从蒙特勒伊逃脱后，沙威便来到巴黎搜寻他。此时的沙威已经是巴黎警察局里一位举足轻重的警长。巴黎的每一个罪犯都对沙威警长闻风丧胆。有一次，冉阿让在河边看见了沙威，第二天他便立刻寻找新的住处。他在一家女子学校高高的围墙后找到了一个安身之所。学校给冉阿让提供了一份园丁的工作，他住在大花园里的一栋小房子中。珂赛特就在那所学校里生活，但每天，她都会来到园丁的小屋里待上一个小时。他们聊天、唱歌、读书。这是她和冉阿让一天中最幸福的一个小时。就这样，岁月悄然流逝。

Zhubin Parang, who has been with The Daily Show since the first time around with Jon Stewart, fully recognizes that among the many characters in the musical Les Misérables, only Javert really has an actual character arc. Only he goes somewhere over the course of the story. The rest kind of hold their ground, face grim adversity, and sing sing sing. That's all good with Zhubin, he loves the crap out of Les Mis and has seen it many times and, in order to put you to sleep, Zhubin is hear to tell you EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN LES MIS.

Why do certain stories break us open in ways we cannot fully explain? Why does the sacrifice of a fictional lion make a grown adult cry? Why does a humble gardener carrying his friend through darkness produce that catch in the throat that feels like something more than sentiment? Why does a wrongly imprisoned man emerging into the rain with his arms outstretched feel less like a plot point and more like a moment of genuine liberation? In this episode Tanya explores one of the most beautiful ideas in all of Christian thought — the concept C.S. Lewis called Sehnsucht — the inconsolable longing that no earthly experience can satisfy. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:11, Lewis's works including The Weight of Glory and Mere Christianity, and Tolkien's argument that the gospel is the myth that is also true, Tanya makes the case that the stories that move us most are not accidental. They are echoes. Breadcrumbs scattered by God across the human imagination — in Narnia and Middle Earth and nineteenth century Paris and the walls of Shawshank — all carrying the same thread. The same fingerprint. The same frequency that the eternity in every human heart was designed to recognize. She walks through the gospel thread running through The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Lord of the Rings, Les Misérables, The Shawshank Redemption, Beauty and the Beast, and Encanto — showing the specific gospel element each story carries. And she addresses what we see in people who reject the longing versus those who follow it home — drawing from Pascal, Frankl, and Augustine. This is not a theology lecture. It is a joyful, relational, wonder-filled conversation about the Story we were all made for. In This Episode You'll Learn: What Ecclesiastes 3:11 means when it says God set eternity in the human heart C.S. Lewis's concept of Sehnsucht — the inconsolable longing and what it points toward The famous argument Lewis received from Tolkien — the gospel as the myth that is also true Why story bypasses the defensive intellect and reaches the soul directly The gospel thread running through The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe — substitutionary atonement and resurrection The gospel threads in The Lord of the Rings — providence, sacrificial love, and human insufficiency completed by grace The grace-and-law dynamic in Les Misérables — and what Javert shows us about the person who cannot receive grace The resurrection imagery in The Shawshank Redemption The gospel of love-before-worthiness in Beauty and the Beast The performance-based identity and grace-restoration arc in Encanto What Pascal, Viktor Frankl, and Augustine contribute to the question of the rejected longing What is different about the life of the person who has received the True Story An invitation to pay attention to the ache — and follow the thread home People and Works Referenced C.S. Lewis — The Weight of Glory, Mere Christianity, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, An Experiment in Criticism J.R.R. Tolkien — The Lord of the Rings, On Fairy Stories Victor Hugo — Les Misérables Blaise Pascal — Pensées Viktor Frankl — Man's Search for Meaning Augustine of Hippo — Confessions Carl Jung — Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious Scripture Referenced Ecclesiastes 3:11 — "He has set eternity in the human heart." Romans 5:8 — "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." John 1:5 — "The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it." Romans 8:22 — "The whole creation has been groaning." Revelation 21:5 — "Behold, I am making all things new." Key Takeaway The stories that move us most are not accidental. They carry the frequency of the True Story — the gospel of sacrifice, grace, resurrection, and love-before-worthiness that God has been telling since before time began. The ache they produce is not sentiment. It is the eternity in your heart recognizing where it belongs. Pay attention to it. Follow the thread. It points home.   I hope this episode blesses you!

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo单词提示1.Monsieur 先生2.Inspector 探长原文Chapter 2: FantineNow we meet Fantine.She is young and beautiful and in love with a man in Paris, but she has no family and no money.For Fantine, this is the love of her life.For the man in Paris, it is just a summer of love.Men are not kind to women, they have their fun and then they walk away.The man in Paris goes home to his rich family and leaves poor Fantine, and with a child, a little girl called Cosette.Fantine must find work, but how?Fantine has a child but no husband, and a woman without a husband is nothing, worse than nothing.People are not kind to a woman with a child but no husband.They turn their faces away, they close their doors, they say there's no work here for a woman like you.Fantine loves her daughter dearly, but what can she do?So in 1818, in a village near Paris, she leaves her little daughter with Monsieur and Madame Thenardier.They ask for 7 francs a month.Fantine pays the money, holds her daughter in her arms for the last time, and leaves.She takes the road for her home town of Montroy,and tears are running down her face.There is misery in her heart. Poor Fantine, poor Cosette.In Montroy, Fantinefinds work in a factory.This is the factory of Monsieur Madeleine, an important man in the town and very rich.Everybody likes him, because he is a good man.He is kind to his workers, he helps people,and his factory gives many jobs to the townspeople.But who is he, this Monsieur Madeleine?Where did he come from?He arrived in Montroy at the end of 1815,but nobody knows his family or anything about him.Fantine sent money every month to the Thenardiers.They were not good people, and they used the money for their own daughters.Poor little Cosette was a hungry, dirty,unloved child.She worked all day, she cleaned the house,she carried water, she washed the clothes.But Fantine knew nothing of this, and she worked long hours to make money for Cosette.The next year, the Thenardiers asked for 12 francs a month.The year after that, they wanted 15 francs.Then Fantine lost her job at the factory because the women did not like her. “She has achild in a village somewhere near Paris.”“Yes, and where's her husband.”“She doesn't have one.”“We don't want that kind of woman here. She must go.”Fantine found work making shirts.It was hard work for little money.She was often ill with a small dry cough.The Thenardiers wrote again, “Your daughter needs a warm dress for winter, send 10 francs at once.”Fantine did not have 10 francs.She thought long and hard, and went to the barber in the town.She took off her hat, and her golden hair fell down her back.“That's beautiful hair,” said the barber.“What can you give me for it?”“10 francs.”“Then cut it off.”She sent the money to the Thenardiers.“My daughter's not cold now,” she thought, “She'swearing my hair.”Soon, another letter came from the Thenardiers,“Send 100 francs, or Cosette must leave our house.”100 francs? How can a poor woman get that kind of money? There was only one way.One cold winter evening, outside a restaurant in the center of Montroy, a woman walked up and down.There was snow on the ground, but the woman wore an evening dress with flowers in her hair.Some young men came out of the restaurant,saw her, and began to call her bad names.They laughed and shouted, but the woman did not look at them.Then one young then took some snow and put it down the back of the woman's dress.The woman was Fantine.She gave a cry, turned, and hit the young man's face with her hands.People came to watch, laughing.A tall policeman arrived, took the woman by the arm and pulled her away.“Come with me,” he said.This policeman was Inspector Javert.He was new to Montroy, and he was a hard man.To him, the law was the only important thing in life.He hated criminals.The law in France at that time was not kind to women like Fantine.Javert took Fantine to the office of police.“You hit a man in the street and that's a crime,” He told her, “You're getting six months.”“Six months in prison?” Fantine cried, “no,I'm not a bad woman, monsieur, please, I must work. I need the money for my little daughter. Please, please don't send me to prison.”She fell to the floor crying.“Take her away,” Javert said to a policeman.“One moment, please,” said a new voice.Everybody turned to look at the door, and there stood the good, the great Monsieur Madeleine.He was an important man in Montroy.“Inspector,” he said, “I was outside the restaurant, too. And I can tell you the true story.”“The young man began the fight, and this poor woman,” he looked at Fantine on the floor, “must go free. She did nothing wrong.”“The woman is a criminal,” said Javert angrily.“She must go free,” said Monsieur Madeleine,“Ask the other people at the restaurant. We all saw the same thing.”Fontain stood up slowly, she began to cough,a hard dry noise.Monsieur Madeleine took her arm gently.“My dear child, you are not well,” he said.Javert's cold eyes stared at Monsieur Madeleine.“Do I know you from somewhere?” he said, “Were you ever at Toulon?”Monsieur Madeleine looked at him.His face did not change, but his eyes were suddenly very watchful.“No, I don't know Toulon.” he said.Monsieur Madeleine took Fantine to the little hospital in Montroy.She lay in bed and coughed and coughed.Monsieur Madeleine listened to her sad story, and the next day he sent money to the Thenardiers.“Now you must get better,” he told Fantine, “Cosette needs you.”But Fantine did not get better.She was now very ill, and five days later the doctor spoke to Monsieur Madeleine.“Does she have a child, this poor woman?”He said, “Yes, a small daughter.”“You must bring the child here soon.”Monsieur Madeleine went to sit by Fountain's bed.“Monsieur madeleine, you are so kind to me. I want to see my daughter one last time.Please, can you? Bring Cosette to me, please, monsieur.”Monsieur Madeleine took her hand.“Of course, I can,” he said gently.And then, the door of the room suddenly opened behind him, and Fantine cried out “No, monsieur.”Madeleine looked round quickly.InspectorJavert came into the room with four policemen.“Jean Valjean, prisoner at Toulon, I am arresting you,” Javert said, “After you left the prison, you stole money from a child in Toulon. You are still a thief, and now you must go to prison for life.”Fantine sat up in bed.“No,” she cried, “Cosette!”Monsieur Madeleine stood up slowly.“Inspector, give me three days.” He said.He was a big man, much bigger than Javert.“Three days to bring this poor woman's child to her before she dies, then you can take me.”Javert laughed loudly, “Three days, you're going to run away?”Behind the two men, Fantine cried out, “Monsieur Madeleine, please take care of Cosette. Please.”Javert turn to her, “Be quiet, woman,there's no Monsieur Madeleine here. This man is a criminal called Jean Valjean,and he's going to prison.”Fantine stared at Javert and tried to speak,but she could not.She fell back in the bed and lay still. She was dead.The people of Montroy talked about that day for a long time, the death of the woman Fantine,the arrest of Monsieur Madeleine.Javert put Monsieur Madeleine in a locked room in the police office, but in the night, he broke down the door and escaped.Where did he go? Did he go to his house in the town?His old servant said “no”, she saw nobody and heard nothing.She said she loved Monsieur Madeleine very much.So where did Monsieur Madeleine go?Nobody in Montroy saw him again.One thing was certain.In Monsieur Madeleine's house, there were two beautiful old silver candlesticks.The next day they were gone.翻译第二章：芳汀现在，我们来认识芳汀。她年轻貌美，在巴黎与一个男人坠入爱河，但她没有家人，也没有钱。对芳汀来说，这是她一生的挚爱；但对那个巴黎男人而言，这不过是一场夏日恋情罢了。男人们对待女人并不仁慈，他们寻欢作乐之后，便一走了之。那个巴黎男人回到了他富有的家族，留下了可怜的芳汀，以及他们的孩子——一个名叫珂赛特的小女孩。芳汀必须找到工作，可她能怎么办呢？芳汀有个孩子却没有丈夫，而在那个时代，没有丈夫的女人什么都不是，甚至比什么都不是还要不堪。人们对带着孩子却没有丈夫的女人毫不留情。他们对她冷眼相待，对她紧闭大门，还会说：“像你这样的女人，我们这儿没有工作。”芳汀深爱着她的女儿，可她又能做些什么呢？于是，在1818年，在巴黎附近的一个村庄里，她把小女儿托付给了德纳第夫妇。他们要求每个月付7法郎。芳汀付了钱，最后一次将女儿紧紧抱在怀里，然后转身离开。她踏上了返回故乡蒙特勒伊的路，泪水顺着脸颊不断滑落。她的心中充满了无尽的苦难。可怜的芳汀，可怜的珂赛特。在蒙特勒伊，芳汀在一家工厂找到了工作。这家工厂的老板是马德兰先生，他是镇上的大人物，非常富有。大家都很喜欢他，因为他是个大好人。他对工人们很仁慈，乐于助人，而且他的工厂为镇上的许多人提供了工作。可是，这位马德兰先生究竟是谁？他又从何而来？他是在1815年底来到蒙特勒伊的，但没有人知道他的身世，对他一无所知。芳汀每个月都会按时寄钱给德纳第夫妇。可他们并非善类，竟把芳汀寄来的钱全用在了自己亲生女儿的身上。可怜的小珂赛特成了一个挨饿、肮脏、无人疼爱的孩子。她整天干活，打扫屋子，提水，洗衣服。但芳汀对此一无所知，她只能拼命工作，为珂赛特多挣些钱。第二年，德纳第夫妇要求每月寄12法郎。再往后一年，他们又要15法郎。后来，芳汀失去了工厂的工作，因为厂里的女工们不喜欢她。“她有个孩子，寄养在巴黎附近的某个村子里。”“是啊，可她丈夫在哪儿呢？”“她没有丈夫。”“我们这儿不想要那种女人。她必须走人。”芳汀只好靠做衬衫来谋生。活儿很累，挣的钱却很少。她经常生病，总是干咳不止。德纳第夫妇又写信来：“你女儿冬天需要一件暖和的裙子，马上寄10法郎来。”芳汀拿不出10法郎。她思前想后，最终走进了镇上的理发店。她摘下帽子，一头金发垂落在背上。“多漂亮的头发啊，”理发师说。“这头发你能给我多少钱？”“10法郎。”“那就剪了吧。”她把换来的钱寄给了德纳第夫妇。“我的女儿现在不会挨冻了，”她想，“她穿着我的头发呢。”没过多久，德纳第夫妇又来信了：“寄100法郎来，不然珂赛特就得滚出我们家。”100法郎？一个穷苦女人上哪儿去弄这么一大笔钱？只剩下最后一条路了。在一个寒冷的冬夜，蒙特勒伊市中心的一家餐馆外，一个女人正来回踱步。地上满是积雪，可她却穿着晚礼服，头上还戴着花。几个年轻男人从餐馆里走出来，看见她，便开始用下流的话辱骂她。他们又笑又叫，但那个女人连看都没看他们一眼。接着，其中一个年轻男人抓起一把雪，顺着那个女人的衣领塞进了她的后背。那个女人正是芳汀。她惊叫一声，转过身，一巴掌狠狠打在那个年轻男人的脸上。人们围过来看热闹，哈哈大笑。这时，一个高大的警察走了过来，一把抓住女人的胳膊，将她拉开。“跟我走。”他说。这个警察是沙威警长。他刚到蒙特勒伊不久，是个冷酷无情的人。在他看来，法律是生命中唯一重要的东西。他痛恨罪犯。而当时法国的法律，对芳汀这样的女人是毫不留情的。沙威把芳汀带到了警察局。“你在大街上打了一个男人，这是犯罪，”他告诉她，“你要被判六个月的监禁。”“六个月？”芳汀哭喊道，“不，我不是坏女人，先生，求求您，我必须工作。我需要钱养活我的小女儿。求求您，千万别把我送进监狱。”她倒在地上痛哭起来。“把她带走。”沙威对另一名警察说。“请等一下。”一个陌生的声音响起。所有人都转头看向门口，只见那位善良、伟大的马德兰先生正站在那里。他是蒙特勒伊的显要人物。“警长，”他说，“我当时也在餐馆外面。我可以告诉你事情的真相。”“是那个年轻人先挑起事端的，而这个可怜的女人，”他看了一眼倒在地上的芳汀，“必须被释放。她没有任何过错。”“这个女人是个罪犯！”沙威愤怒地说。“她必须被释放，”马德兰先生说，“去问问餐馆里的其他人吧。我们大家看到的都是一样的。”芳汀慢慢站起身，开始剧烈地咳嗽，发出沉闷干涩的声音。马德兰先生温柔地扶住她的胳膊。“我可怜的孩子，你身体不好。”他说。沙威冰冷的双眼死死盯着马德兰先生。“我是不是在哪儿见过你？”他说，“你以前去过土伦吗？”马德兰先生看着他。他的面庞毫无波澜，但眼神突然变得极度警觉。“不，我不知道什么土伦。”他说。马德兰先生把芳汀送到了蒙特勒伊的小医院。她躺在床上，不停地咳嗽。马德兰先生听完了她悲惨的身世，第二天便派人把钱寄给了德纳第夫妇。“现在你必须好起来，”他告诉芳汀，“珂赛特需要你。”但芳汀并没有好转。她的病情已经非常严重了，五天后，医生对马德兰先生说：“这个可怜的女人有孩子吗？”“有，一个小女儿。”“你必须尽快把孩子接来。”马德兰先生走到芳汀的床边坐下。“马德兰先生，您对我太好了。我想再看一眼我的女儿。求求您，您能办到吗？把珂赛特带到我身边来吧，先生。”马德兰先生握住她的手。“我当然能办到。”他温和地说。就在这时，身后的房门突然被猛地推开，芳汀惊叫一声：“不，先生！”马德兰先生迅速回过头。沙威警长带着四名警察走进了房间。“冉阿让，土伦的囚犯，我现在逮捕你，”沙威说，“你出狱后，在土伦偷了一个孩子的钱。你依然是个贼，现在你必须被判终身监禁。”芳汀在床上猛地坐直身子。“不！”她哭喊道，“珂赛特！”马德兰先生缓缓站起身。“警长，给我三天时间。”他说。他是个大块头，比沙威高大得多。“给我三天时间，让我把这个可怜女人的孩子带到她面前，等她见上最后一面，你再抓我。”沙威放声大笑：“三天？你是打算趁机逃跑吗？”在两个男人身后，芳汀哭喊道：“马德兰先生，求您照顾珂赛特。求求您了。”沙威转过头对她吼道：“闭嘴，女人！这里没有什么马德兰先生。这个人是个叫冉阿让的罪犯，他马上就要进监狱了。”芳汀死死盯着沙威，试图开口说话，却发不出一点声音。她重重地倒回床上，再也没有动弹。她死了。蒙特勒伊的人们谈论那一天谈了很久很久，谈论着芳汀的死，以及马德兰先生被捕的事。沙威把马德兰先生关在警察局的一间密室里，但在夜里，他撞破房门逃跑了。他去了哪里？他回镇上的家了吗？他的老女仆说“没有”，她什么也没看见，什么也没听见。她说她非常敬爱马德兰先生。那么，马德兰先生到底去了哪里？蒙特勒伊再也没有人见过他。但有一件事是肯定的。在马德兰先生的家里，原本放着两只漂亮的老银烛台。第二天，它们就不见了。

¡Semifinales del Mundial! Y qué partidazo nos espera este martes: Francia contraEspaña. Dos selecciones con historia, estilo y orgullo. Un duelo que trasciende el fútbol y toca la identidad de dosnaciones. En nuestro campo literario, traemos un enfrentamiento detitanes absolutos, dos obras monumentales que retratan como pocas la condición humana: Por Francia, la gran epopeya humanista de Víctor Hugo: “Los Miserables”. Por España, la novela clave del realismo social de posguerrade Camilo José Cela: “La colmena”. Dos libros que pesan, que duelen y que siguen siendoimprescindibles décadas después de su publicación. Víctor Hugo publica “Los miserables” en 1862 y entrega unade las novelas más ambiciosas de la historia de la literatura. Más de 1.500 páginas que siguen la vida de Jean Valjean, un ex presidiario que busca redención en una Francia convulsa del siglo XIX. Hugo no solo cuenta una historia: construye un fresco épico que abarca la miseria social, la justicia, la redención, el amor, la revolución y la espiritualidad. Personajesinolvidables como Javert, Cosette, Marius o el obispo Myriel. Discursos memorables sobre la misericordia, la educación y las barricadas de 1832. Es una novela total: romántica, realista, social y profundamente humanista. “Los Miserables” ha sido adaptada incontables veces y sigue siendo un símbolouniversal de la lucha contra la injusticia. Camilo José Cela, Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1989,publica “La colmena” en 1951 (aunque en España se editó más tarde por la censura). Con un estilo fragmentado, coral y cinematográfico, Cela retrata la vida cotidiana en los cafés de Madrid en 1942, en plena posguerra franquista.Hambre, estraperlo, prostitución, miedo, chismes y supervivencia. No hay un protagonista central: la colmena misma —la sociedad madrileña— es el personaje.Es una novela cruda, pesimista y magistral en su capacidad para captar el ambiente opresivo de la dictadura. Cela rompe con las formas tradicionales y crea una de las obras cumbre de la literatura española del siglo XX, un retrato implacable de la degradación moral y material de un país vencido. Uno eleva la miseria individual hasta convertirla en epopeyahumanista y revolucionaria. El otro desciende a la miseria colectiva de la posguerra con frialdad quirúrgica y sin concesiones. Francia y España. Víctor Hugo y Camilo José Cela. Dos formasmagistrales de denunciar la injusticia social: la grandiosidad romántica frente al realismo descarnado. ¿Quién se llevará la victoria en este duelo literario deSemifinales? ¿La épica redentora de Los miserables o la crudeza implacable de La colmena? Esto promete ser un partido inolvidable, tantoen el césped como entre las páginas.

Aujourd'hui dans "Le Journal Imprévisible", Marc Bourreau revient sur la création de l'artiste JR, une caverne érigée sur le pont Neuf à Paris, enfin ouverte au public après quelques jours de retard. Une occasion de revenir sur l'histoire des ponts et des créations artistiques.Le pont Neuf, le plus long, le plus vieux et le plus scruté de Paris, a été immortalisé par de nombreux artistes comme William Turner, Auguste Renoir, Pablo Picasso ou encore Pierre Soulages. Les ponts de Paris sont des lieux emblématiques de la capitale, traversés par de nombreuses émotions et histoires, comme les peines de cœur de Guillaume Apollinaire ou les tragédies de Javert et Boudu. Ils sont aussi des sources d'inspiration pour les artistes, comme Christo qui a emballé le pont Neuf, ou Kenzo qui l'a fleuri en 1994. Les ponts de Paris sont des témoins de l'histoire de la ville, avec des sculptures et des décorations qui racontent le passé, comme les pégases du pont Alexandre III ou le Zouave du pont de l'Alma.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Today, John Ortberg uses Les Misérables by Victor Hugo to explore two ways of living:• the condemning life (Javert)• the blessing life (the Bishop)• and the transformed life (Jean Valjean)Drawing on Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 3, and insights from Dallas Willard, John explains:- why condemnation feels powerful- what the “ministry of condemnation” really does- how grace humiliates before it heals- why pride resists light- how blessing rewires the soulThrough the unforgettable moment of the candlesticks, we see how self-giving love defeats condemnation. One man bends the knee and is transformed. One refuses grace and collapses under its weight.“To love another person is to see the face of God.”That is the blessing life.That is the transformed life.And there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

With a growing body count and too many unanswered questions, Javert hits the streets hunting Patient Zero Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Los Miserables sigue la historia de Jean Valjean, un exconvicto que busca redimirse tras salir de prisión. Perseguido incansablemente por el inspector Javert, Valjean reconstruye su vida mientras cuida a Cosette, la hija de Fantine, una mujer explotada por la pobreza.

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin explore the concept of personality types through the lens of food, discussing what type of food they would be and why. The dorks then shift to their main topic, using the D&D alignment chart, they explore the moral complexities of characters like Darth Vader, Dolores Umbridge, Magneto, the Operative from Serenity, Javert from Les Misérables, Agent Smith from The Matrix, and many more to determine which fictional villains are truly Lawful Evil.   Things are wrapped up with another round of the movie clip guessing game, where Doug plays clips from different movies and Justin does his best to guess which films they're from.   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.

Galatians 4: From Law to Sonship—Living in the Freedom of Grace In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their journey through Galatians, unpacking the powerful contrast between life under the law and life as sons and daughters of God. Using the characters of Les Misérables—Javert and Valjean—they illustrate the stark difference between rigid justice and transformative grace. Michael and SJ reflect on Galatians 4 and the metaphor of the law as a guardian or tutor—meant to lead us to maturity, not define our identity. With personal stories and biblical insight, they explore the theme of adoption into God's family, emphasizing both the legal authority and intimate connection that come with true sonship. The conversation calls believers to grow from spiritual slavery into spiritual maturity—moving from performance and obligation into freedom and responsibility, led by the Spirit. Grace isn't just forgiveness—it's the empowering presence of God that brings about real transformation. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own journey with grace, and to prepare their hearts for the next step in the series: the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

June 16-22Many years ago, I read Les Misérables, by Victor Hugo: the unabridged version which is 1,463 pages long. Next to the scriptures, it was the greatest reading experience of any book I have ever had. I became so close to the characters, Jean Valjean, Monsieur Charles-François-Bienvenu Myriel—the Bishop of Digne (‘deen'), Fantine, Cosette, Gavroche, Marius, Javert and many others that I wept for a long time after I finished the book because I was so sad, I would not be able to meet them in the Spirit World! Maurine reminded me they were fictional characters. I was completely transported into their hearts, their world, their times, their pain, their burdens. Maurine and I even went to Victor Hugo's home in Guernsey Island off the coast of Normandy in the English Channel to get a sense of where he wrote this classic novel. Do you want to know my very favorite moment from the entire 1,463 pages? It has to do with our lesson in this episode.

Star Wars Andor: How Fascism Creates Its Own SupportersWhat drives someone to become complicit in fascism? We explore Syril Karn's arc in Star Wars: Andor and what it reveals about how authoritarian systems manipulate their supporters.How does fascism differ from authoritarianism? We examined the central leader cult of personality that defines fascist systems, with Emperor Palpatine as the prime example.What makes Syril believe in "law and order"? His rigid worldview and imperial propaganda blind him to corruption, driving his obsession with Cassian Andor and participation in the Gorman massacre.Why do fascist systems encourage infighting? The Empire deliberately pits officials against each other to prevent anyone from challenging the Emperor's power.Can we sympathize with villains without excusing them? We discussed humanizing Imperial characters while holding them accountable for their violent choices.Other Topics Covered:Syril's parallel to Javert from Les MisérablesHow the Rebellion operates differently than the EmpireThe Emperor's invisible but constant presence in Imperial decisionsWhy redemption arcs should be rare for fascist collaboratorsViolence as the true governing principle under authoritarianismUnderstanding characters like Syril isn't about excusing fascism—it's about recognizing how ordinary people can be drawn into extraordinary evil and the importance of making moral choices when systems encourage us to look away. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

What do you get when you mix Broadway royalty with sci-fi cloning, environmental theater, and a dash of boogie-woogie piano? A wildly entertaining conversation with the legendary Terrence Mann. From his earliest days growing up in a musical household to helping launch the North Carolina Theatre, Terry's journey is packed with passion, persistence, and a whole lot of timing. He shares the story behind how he actually got cast in Cats (it involves London and a royal connection), and how he practically willed his way into Les Misérables after being told multiple times they didn't want to see him. His advice for young performers? “Have no fear, there are no wrong choices, and be specific”—words he lives by and teaches. Now back on stage in Broadway's The Great Gatsby as Meyer Wolfsheim, Terrence opens up about what it feels like to return to the theater after years in “Foundation land,” filming Apple TV's epic sci-fi series. We also dive into his work as a director, educator, and his longtime love for North Carolina's historic Lost Colony production. And yes, we play a game of Plot in 60 Seconds, get a surprise cameo from iOS balloons, and bond over the beautiful chaos of 1980s New York auditions. This episode is packed with decades of wisdom and a whole lot of heart. Terrence Mann is a three-time Tony nominee best known for originating iconic roles such as Rum Tum Tugger in Cats, Javert in Les Misérables, and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast. His Broadway credits also include Pippin, Tuck Everlasting, The Addams Family, Scarlet Pimpernel, and Rags. On screen, he's appeared in Sense8, all four Critters films, and currently stars as Brother Dusk in the Apple TV+ sci-fi series Foundation. He's also an accomplished director, educator, and co-founder of Triple Arts, a musical theater training program.

Please join Kate and Sheila as they discuss parts 2 & 3 of Victor Hugo's unforgettable tale of woe, Les Misérables. Today we meet the young girl, Cosette, who was left with the cruel innkeepers. The Thenardiers have taken money from Cosette's young mother under false pretenses. They make Cosette work tirelessly, and use money sent from her mother for themselves. Jean Valjean is at last free to rescue Fantine's daughter as he promised. Cosette was a “fly trembling in a spider's web”. The Bible tells us in Exodus 22:23, “Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do, they will cry out to Me, I will certainly hear their cry.” Cosette does just that, after her prayer the paths of Jean Valjean and Cosette meet and the poor waif is removed from the sinister selfish family at last!“The bishop had taught him (Jean Valjean) the meaning of virtue; Cosette had now taught him the meaning of love.” Life was briefly sweet for the pair, as a devoted grandfather with his grateful granddaughter, until the detective, Javert, relentlessly tracked them down. Danger popped their new found joy like a pin in a balloon. How will they escape this unmerciful fame-seeking man? Next, we meet Marius, whose grandfather raised him until he disinherited him. “The rigors of his present life gratified and pleased him.” Time has passed and the despicable Thenardiers end up as Marius' next door neighbors. The showdown between the grafters along with their thugs-for-hire, kind-hearted Jean Valjean, and the unstoppable detective is viewed by an anything but calm Marius through a peephole in the wall connecting the rooms! Hugo challenges his readers, of yesterday and today, by addressing topics that many would   rather sweep under the rug than be exposed for all to see. Are you ready to jump into the fray? 

Cw: conversations about death, suicide, Trump mention Our favourite girly goes through it… for the last time. Just like Javert, we are quite thoroughly derailed.  The Penal Code document mentioned  Henri Gisquet   This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin.

Cw: implications of suicide, death,  Hugo starts us off with some equal opportunity foot fetish, the return of a knob, and Javert and Valjean meet again in filthy circumstances.

Yelling at llamas, challenge coin stolen valor, and I'm Javert!

Who gets to tell the story? It's the season finale, and it feels like a perfect time to travel back to 2015, when a blockbuster hip-hop musical about America's founders took the world by storm. That's right... Today, Peter and Nathan return to the room where it happened and consider the theology of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton. _________________________________________ You'll hear: My Shot / Wait For It / The Ten Dual Commandments: Hamilton & Burr—like Valjean & Javert, like Jesus & Judas—represent oppositional forces, responding to similar circumstances with radically different approaches to life. They also each get a great “I Want” song. Burn / Quiet Uptown / Say No To This: Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, Maria Reynolds, Angelica Schuyler Church and the various roles that women play in this story. What does forgiveness look like – and what does Eliza see at the end of the musical? One Last Time / Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story: Few other musicals are so associated with presidential administrations as Hamilton is with Barack Obama. We think about the connections between the Hamilton project and the Obama project, wonder about the soft nationalism at the heart of this story, and think critically about the legacy of George Washington. Who gets to tell the story? You'll hear Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr, Phillipa Soo, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Christopher Jackson and the cast of the 2015 Original Broadway Cast Album. It won a Grammy. _________________________________________ Check out some of our all-time favorites! Phantom of the Opera Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Jesus Christ Superstar!

Cw: sinophobia, discussion of sewage,  We dive into the sewers and for the first time ever, Hugo might be right about science, and also teaches us some new words?? We say the word cloaca about seventy thousand times, the English are respectable, and we find Javert's Inspection Chamber ;) Also, did you know the origin of the word OOZE? Prepare yourself because Nemo and Stevie have a LOT of passion about sewers.    Human compost: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/05/07/182010827/is-it-safe-to-use-compost-made-from-treated-human-waste  Crossness pumping station: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossness_Pumping_Station    This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin.

Somewhere beyond the barricade, is there a world you long to see? There's no more overtly theological (or more popular) musical than Claude-Michel Schönberg & Alain Boubil's 1980 Les Misérables, based on Victor Hugo's 1862 novel. From Valjean and Javert to Eponine and Fantine, this musical crams more pathos, prayer, and bad wigs into three hours than any other musical we know. Do you hear the people sing? _________________________________________ We talk about: Prologue (the Bishop) / Stars / Javert's Suicide – Javert, the police inspector, embodies a law-and-order version of the Christian gospel (shout-out to our Jansenist followers!) – and ultimately, the mercy he is shown destroys him. Are these competing atonement theories, or is there more subtlety in Les Mis' treatment of the Christian gospel and its consequences? I Dreamed a Dream / On My Own / A Little Fall of Rain – Fantine gets one, brief, shining moment before she dies (it's a weeper), and Eponine stands in for every alto who dreams of being the soprano – and then she dies, too. Why do most of the women in Les Mis end up dead? Turning, Turning – "What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears it?" In a musical where women are mostly prostitutes or virgins, the women's chorus gives voice to one of the show's darkest and most provocative theological questions. Bring Him Home / Do You Hear the People Sing? – What does an evangelized life look like on the ground – and what does “somewhere beyond the barricade” really mean? _________________________________________ You'll hear Colm Wilkinson, Phillip Quast, Lea Salonga, Michael Ball and Judy Kuhn from the 1995 “Dream Cast Recording.” You'll also hear Anne Hathaway sing “I Dreamed a Dream” from the 2012 film soundtrack because she won an Oscar for it, and attention must be paid. _________________________________________ Never miss an episode! Sign up for our email list to get updates when new episodes are released, info about upcoming special events, and more. _________________________________________ Check out some of our all-time favorites!
