This may be a silly question, but, I took an interest in Les Miserables by watching the play. Recently I purchased the book with a new translation by Julie Rose; and am wondering how I went about reading it.
The contents pages tell me that there are five parts, but within them parts are chapters (I am guessing) from books of Les Miserables.
E.g.
Part One: FantineBOOK ONE. A Just Man
BOOK TWO. The Fall
BOOK THREE. In The Year 1817
BOOK FOUR. To Entrust Is Sometimes To Abandon
BOOK FIVE. The Descent
BOOK SIX. Javert
BOOK SEVEN. The Champmethieu Affair
BOOK EIGHT. Aftershock
Do I read through the book as any other book or do i read all of book one in part one, then two, then three, four and five; then carry one book two in parts one, two, three, four and five?
Please advise.
Thankyou.
