Victor Hugo's novel "The Man Who Laughs" is set in England in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Gwynplaine, a lord by birth, was sold as a child to Comprachico bandits, who turned him into a fairground jester, carving a mask of "eternal laughter" into his face (at the courts of the European nobility of the time, cripples and deformities were fashionable to amuse hosts and guests; the activities of the Comprachicos were sometimes even encouraged).

Romance, social tragedy, adventure, and unexpected plot twists—all in one of the masterpieces of French literature. Disfigured by bandits as a child, the hero becomes a buffoon and a vagabond, but despite all trials, he retains his love and nobility.

A new series of classics for fans of "Magistral. The Main Trend" in hardcover. Impeccable style, conciseness, tactile materials, colored endpapers, and a pattern on the edge.
