我最近读了维克多·雨果篇幅较短的一部小说《海上劳工》（The Toilers of the Sea），非常喜欢。我本来就挺喜欢雨果的文字：时代感和空间感极强，他精心锤炼的句式风格也与这种氛围相得益彰。总的来说他倒不算是被低估了，……
I recently read one of Victor Hugo's shorter books, The Toilers of the Sea, and quite enjoyed it. I like Hugo's writing in general: has a rich feeling of time and place, with the style of the sentences he crafts sort of feeding into it. He's not exactly underrated in general,…

The Toilers of the Sea by Victor Hugo. A recent penguin translation is superb. Among the saddest and most memorable love stories.
