Widely acclaimed as one of the most influential writers of all time, Victor Hugo (1802 – 1885) was the forefront author of the Romantic Literary movement, producing an exceptional variety of genres that came to define the artistic turn of the 19th century, including the national French Epic The Legend of the Ages and the dramatic tale of Les Misérables.

There’s no assumption of even basic reader intelligence to work things out on But instead the characters describe itĪnd work it out in ludicrously excessive detail to explain it to the readers – That any characters, especially purportedly intelligent characters, couldn’t Meaning of it is obvious, I mean really really really obvious. We see the same thing when the characters discuss a “cryptic” prophecy. Last book repeatedly hashed over not as Stand Alone Stuffing, but because theĪuthors seem to have that little opinion of the intelligence of their readers. This is why the book is so full of recapping, every element of the Veeeerrrryyy slooowly and veeerrryyy carefully and over and over to make sure Increasingly annoying me – the authors seem to think their readers are fools,īlithering fool without a scrap of reasoning who need everything explaining There’s another element of these books that is I try to replicate the suggestions made by teachers in Alaska who are of different cultures I point out the problems in the illustrations and talk about the problem of white people telling Indigenous stories. I feel angry at the publishers who tried to market it as an Indigenous book when published I am angry at myself for believing them (until the internet emerged and I did an MLIS and could research things.) I no longer believe the publisher's early implied claims, needless to say. Reviews I've read by Indigenous teachers say they read the book with their students and point out the problems in the illustrations (multiple Indigenous cultures are represented in one character and imagery is inconsistently applied.)Īs a settler myself, I have strong misgivings about this book.

He reflects that if he does not give her a red rose, she will reject him and break his heart. The Student continues his lament, explaining that the Prince is hosting a ball the next night and fantasizing about dancing with his love interest. She reflects that she has sung about the Student “night after night though know him not” and that he is a “true lover” (58). A nightingale (“the Nightingale”) overhears the Student’s laments. Despite his great learning, his life is “wretched” due to this lack.
