Question
The aphorism that one gram of one of these objects is equal to a shovelful of coal recurs in a Herta Müller novel titled in translation for a type of “Angel.” In another novel, a character takes one of these objects from Maubert Isabeau (“moh-BAIR IZ-uh-bo”) to give to the children of his widowed sister, which ultimately leads to him having to carry a yellow passport. The barber Ivan Yakovlevich discovers a body part inside one of these objects in the opening scene of Nikolai (*) Gogol’s story “The Nose.” Because of repeated escape attempts, a man who breaks a window to obtain one of these objects ends up spending 19 years in prison in the novel Les Misérables (“lay mis-ay-RAHB”). For 10 points, Jean Valjean (“zhahn val-zhahn”) initially goes to prison for stealing what food item? ■END■
