The Man who Laughs

4.01 (372 ratings by Goodreads)

English

Illustrated by: Mark Stafford

Victor Hugos scathing indictment of the injustice and inequality within Britains political system tells a story of abduction, mutilation, loss and prejudice.

The narrative follows Gwynplaine, the two-year-old heir to a rebel lord, who is abducted upon the orders of a vindictive monarch, who has him mutilated (to produce a permanent, grisly smile), then abandoned. After years of living frugally he is re-introduced to the aristocratic life, and resolves to become the voice of the voiceless, whether he is heard or not.
