The person who laughs. Hugo V.

The action of Victor Hugo’s novel “The Man who laughs” takes place in England at the end of the XVII - early XVIII centuries. Guinplen-Birthday, in childhood, was sold to the Bandita-Comprames who made a fair jester from a child, cutting out a mask of “eternal laughter” on his face (at the courts of the European nobility there was a fashion for cripples and freaks who amused the owners and guests, the activities of compens Sometimes even encouraged).

Contrary to all trials, Guinplen retained the best human qualities and his love.
