Description
“The Man Who Laughs” is one of the most famous novels by the great French writer Victor Hugo.
The protagonist, Quasimodo—actually Gwynplaine—was kidnapped as a child by bandit “Chap-dealers” who disfigured his face beyond recognition by carving a dreadful grimace into it. Strangely enough, this cruelty couldn’t cripple the boy’s soul, and he grew up to become a smart, kind, noble, and honest man. This rare combination of beautiful human qualities sharply contrasts with the reality surrounding Gwynplaine. The twists of his fate are astonishing; he faces a huge number of trials, yet he proves stronger than them and travels the path from a fairground performer to a member of parliament.
