Product Description

 
Víctor Hugo achieved, in "The man who laughs", one of the most personal novels, as well as one of the most dramatic stories of the entire literature. His protagonist is a boy kidnapped by children stealers who have deformed his face in such a way that it shows a permanent smile, independently of how his feeling are. After a life of adventures, he manages to recover his rights, but when in use of them he throws a brilliant piece of oratory to describe the sufferings of others, his deformed face makes believe that he is telling a joke and everybody laugh at him. It is a vital work along its violence and many consider it to be Víctor Hugo's masterpiece, even if "The hunchback" and "The miserables" are more known.
