Book Four: The Seine

by L'Ael-Inire

Novel-based. Jean Valjean saves Javert after he throws himself into the Seine. Very straight-edge, and made in an attempt to be as true to the characters and general style in which Les Mis was written as possible. 6 chapters minus notes and completed.

1. A Short Foreword

From the Author

This has been a project, in which:

1. I tried (I emphasize "tried") to write in the same manner as Victor Hugo and by the same stylistic choices that he did. In addition, it was written as if it had a specific place in the book--that is, immediately after the section entitled "Javert in Disarray".

2. The characters are unmodified and meant to be as close to their sources as possible, which means no slash and all the rest.

3. All pieces of writing present in this work which do not belong to me--which are few--have been isolated by page bars and/or unique formatting. I think they're quite discernable. These parts belong to Hugo and I have made use of them for the sole purpose of clarity. Do not sue me.

Critique very welcomed, if you know what you're talking about. Then again even if you don't, have at it. I'm a curious being.
