Давно я такого не читал. Не могу понять в чем проблема Жервезы и Золотой бороды. Почему им не суждено было быть вместе? Старик Бажуз - смерть. Лали - святая . Ларнье сам дьявол . Чувствуется стиль Гюго. Роман не такой мрачный как его описывают, скорее горький. Читалось легко, но послевкусие горькое
