We start our reading of the novel by thinking about the Bishop of Digne, and why Hugo spends so much time on him to start the novel.

Ep02 - I,1,i - ix - Why a Bishop?

The Podcast about Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. In each episode, I will comment on a section of the book, to make it a bit less daunting, and hopefully help you enjoy it a bit more. I am a professor, but this podcast is created with a non-academic, non-expert, non-French-speaking audience in mind--that is, anyone who'd like to dive into this classic!
