Each of the great heroes of the classic novels is, in his own way, larger than life. Some are full of spirited bonhomie and some are brooding and keep to themselves; some are innocents who come of age and some are cynical men of the world; some chase selflessly after the bad guys are some pursued relentlessly by their own demons.
"La Palette des Heros" brings together...
- Tom Jones (Henry Fielding's novel by that name)
- Jay Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby)
- Le Comte de Valmont (Choderlos de Laclos's Les Liaisons Dangereuses)
- Sir Percy Blakeney (the Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel)
- Sherlock Holmes (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's series by that name)
- Huckleberry Finn (Mark Twain's novel by that name)
- Edmond Dantes (Alexandre Dumas's Le Comte de Monte-Cristo)
- David Copperfield (Charles Dickens's novel by that name)
- Captain Ahab (Herman Melville's Moby Dick)
- Heathcliff (Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights)
- Edmund Rochester (Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre)
- Fitzwilliam Darcy (Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice)
Together, they remind us that there are many different ways of being a hero, and they suggest that we can cherry pick the best characteristics and redeeming qualities of each of them to become the heroes we need for our own lives.
