Assigning Les amis Polish literature I think they would enjoy!!
Enjolras: Undivine Comedy — Zygmunt Krasiński
It's literally set in the French Revolution and it's theme is basically the fight against aristocracy and democracy. It's exactly his kind of thing come on he would adore it and quote it all the time
Combeferre: Master Thaddeus — Adam Mickiewicz
not sure how to explain it, I just feel like he would enjoy it. It's Poland's national epic and he probably learnt the invocation off by heart and cried at the ending. also got recommended it by feuilly
Courfeyrac: Quo Vadis — Henryk Sienkiewicz
It's about the rise of Christianity in Rome and I feel like Courf would DEFINITELY enjoy talking about the Roman Empire in general (also makes fun of nero reading it)
Feuilly: The Peasants — Władysław Reymont
Polish village vibe. EXACTLY HIS KIND OF THING!!!! he is 101% a village boy and I do not care what anyone else has to say. I can also imagine him bawling his eyes out reading it too and rightly so
Grantaire: Dziady — Adam Mickiewicz
Slavic Halloween, Grantaire would absolutely love it and his favourite part is definitely part III, ghosts and blaming God for you country being partitioned is badass
Joly: The Wedding — Stanisław Wyspiański
It's a bit creepy... “ghosts of personae from Polish history and culture, representing the guilty consciences of the living.” oh and the guests at the wedding get hypnotised by a straw-wrap. honestly joly would find it fascinating
Jehan: The Doll — Bolesław Prus
Femme fatale coquette, merchants, floating metals, dilf as a main character, old man yaoi HE WOULD ADORE THIS BOOK (I also recommend it a lot, it's so good, read it)
Bahorel: The Deluge (or the Trilogy in general) — Henryk Sienkiewicz
A whole lot of winged hussar badassery. Duels constantly, Bahorel would love it all. deffo would become obsessed with winged hussars
Lesgle: Vengeance — Aleksander Fredro
This book is genuinely hilarious and he would actually love reading it, that's all I have to say
Marius: Ashes — Stefan Żeromski
it's set in the napoleonic wars, that's all I need to say for this one.
