New at The Hugo Pages (TheHugoPages.com):Les Misérables in miniature: "Melancholia"
Hugo began work on a book called Les Misères in the mid 1840s, but the 1848 Revolution and other tangles got in the way of his completing what would become Les Misérables. In the meantime, he wrote this poem which he read to his family on Christmas Day, 1855, after which he said that it contained the basis for the book that would become his greatest novel.
I have translated the poem in full and have roughly half of it posted. The rest should be coming soon (by the end of the week).
Also a major reformatting of The Hugo Pages Blog.
