The Man Who Laughs is a novel by French writer Victor Hugo, published in 1869. Set in England in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the story follows Gwynplaine, a man disfigured in his childhood by order of a vengeful king, whose permanent smile becomes a symbol of injustice and social inequality. Through his journey, Hugo explores themes of aristocracy, poverty, and the nature of beauty and monstrosity.
French novelist, poet and dramatist, leading figure of Romanticism and author of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
