Invitation: When Montblanc invited me to create a virtual webinar to celebrate their new Homage to Victor Hugo series, I invited Les Mis composer Claude-Michel Schönberg to join me. You are warmly invited to join us! DISCOVER THE INSPIRATION OF VICTOR…lnkd.in/dNCeF3W

35 years ago, LES MISÉRABLES opened in London. Its popular success despite many negative reviews reminds me: What appears on the surface is not always what’s really there. Saw it in 2012, when TO LOVE IS TO ACT was beginning to take shape in my imagination. #TBT #LesMiserables

International Day for Eradication of Poverty: #VictorHugo shocked conservative French legislators in 1849: “I insist that poverty can be done away with. Please note, Gentlemen, that I am not saying reduce, shrink, limit, contain: I am saying destroy.” #ToLoveIsToAct #EndPoverty

VERY excited to be talking soon with The Victor Hugo in Guernsey Society members about #VictorHugo, altruistic love and conscience! marvabarnett.com/to-love-is-to-… #ToLoveIsToAct Swan Isle Press

"Three things belong to God: the irrevocable, the irreparable, the indissoluble... I vote to abolish the death penalty." Victor Hugo, 1848. Sister Helen Prejean's essay is well worth reading & sharing. Sister Helen Prejean​ #VictorHugo #AbolishTheDeathPenalty washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…

Well worth reading and thinking about, especially if you live in the US, one of the last countries to sanction state killing. #abolishdeathpenalty The Man I Saw Them Kill nyti.ms/3gTQPhy

“It’s sad to think that nature speaks and that humankind doesn’t listen,” wrote #VictorHugo. #EarthDay. Love our earth? Then do something for it, as Hugo said: “To love is to act.” TO LOVE IS TO ACT: LES MISÉRABLES & HUGO’S VISION FOR LEADING LIVES OF CONSCIENCE. Swan Isle Press

Great Nicholas Kristof column, as usual, quoting Frederick Douglass: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” #VictorHugo: "Every child we #teach is a man we gain." To Love Is to Act, from Swan Isle Press, Hugo & #Conscience.

I know firsthand the deeply engaging nature of Andrew D. Kaufman, Ph.D. ✍️'s writing, so strongly recommend his brand-new THE GAMBLER WIFE!!!!

A wonderful way to get an overview of #VictorHugo's #art, not to mention some of his characters who've become part of our collective human memory. Don't worry if you don't know French--all the artwork shown is Victor's 😁

Great to see this fine review of Andrew D. Kaufman, Ph.D. ✍️'s new book, THE GAMBLER WIFE, in The New York Times! The Stenographer Who Married Dostoyevsky — and Saved Him From Ruin nytimes.com/2021/08/31/boo…
