One of Victor Hugo's most famous novels "The Man Who Laughs", along with "Les Miserables" and "The Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris", is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of French literature of the XIX century. It seems to have everything: an atmosphere of mystery, magnificent pages devoted to English history, a shipwreck, a child abandoned under mysterious circumstances, ruthless robbers, a strange document found in a sealed bottle on the seashore, a blind beauty, a misanthropic benefactor, a tame wolf and a romantic hero (the influence of his image on the art of the subsequent time can hardly be overestimated, it is enough to remember, for example, the Joker with his creepy grin). Guinplain's appearance is terrible: "a mouth opening up to the ears", a shapeless nose and a face "which could not be looked at without laughter", but his life journey, full of incredible adventures, will not leave any reader indifferent. In this edition, the novel is accompanied by magnificent illustrations by French artists Georges Rochegross and Daniel Vierge.
