Title:: [[The Toilers of the Sea]] Authors:: [[Victor Hugo]] Tags:: #fiction Read:: [[2023-09-24]] Instagram :: https://www.instagram.com/jeronimo_ficus/p/CxmBEZpMNT2/ ## Editions - Edition:: Modern Library Classis, 2002 - Original Copyright:: 1866 - Pages:: 430 ## Annotations I’ve been toiling away at life for a few weeks, escaping into this book not nearly as much as I would have liked. I never minded, though, because this book is wonderful. I loved everything about it, and it’s a new favorite.  It has some of the most beautiful writing about the power of nature I’ve read, and a main character— Gilliatt — I won’t forget. Even the first section on the differences between the Channel Islands is standalone awesome. Highly recommend this.
