The person who laughs. Hugo V.

One of Victor Hugo’s most famous novels “The Man who laughs”, along with the “outcasts” and “Cathedral of the Parisian Mother of God”, is certainly one of the masterpieces of French literature of the 19th century. It seems that there is everything in it: the atmosphere of secrets, magnificent pages dedicated to stories, shipwreck, a child abandoned under mysterious circumstances, ruthless robbers, a strange document found in a sealed bottle on the sea, a blind beauty, a misanthropic, a manual wolf and a romantic wolf and a romantic wolf and a romantic wolf and a romantic wolf and a romantic wolf and a romantic The hero (the influence of his image on the art of subsequent time is difficult to overestimate, enough to recall, for example, Joker with his terrible grin). Guinplen's appearance is terrible: “The mouth opening to the ears”, a shapeless nose and face, “which could not be looked at without laughter”, but his life path, full of incredible adventures, will not leave indifferent a single reader.

+In this publication, the novel is accompanied by magnificent illustrations of French artists Georges Roshgross and Daniel Vierhe.
