Preview Mode Links will not work in preview mode

Welcome to the website for "The Les Misérables Reading Companion," where you'll find all the episodes of this podcast about Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, plus extras relating to what I've discussed there. 

This page is a work in progress. Come back early and often for updates!

The comment function on this page was giving us trouble--comments disappearing, that sort of thing--so I've shut it off...

BUT DON'T BE DISCOURAGED! You can share your thoughts about the book on Facebook or Twitter at the links below.

I still very much look forward to reading your comments! (Unless you're a troll; I will exercise ruthless editorial authority when it comes to trolls!)

 

Episode 18 extras

Apr 24, 2018

Today's extras are heavily geographical:

Here, once again, is our Google map, now with layers organized by section in the text, to make it a bit easier to zero in on the markers that interest you.

And here, for reference in the much-changed Paris, is an 1823 map of the city. It is far less interactive, but if you're interested in the details of what you're reading in the novel, this is the place to try to follow along. The locations we're discussing today are on the southern edge of the city.
