About This Novel

This is a tragedy that happened under the rule of the British aristocracy. The son of a noble senator was betrayed by the king to a child trafficker during the Restoration. After undergoing disfigurement surgery, he became a deformed Laughing Man and made a living by performing arts. After he became an adult, he was confirmed as the heir to the privileges of the aristocracy, and his title was restored due to conflicts in the court. However, he still maintained his innocence and kindness. He spoke generously for the people in the House of Lords, causing himself to fall from the heights of power to the bottom, and finally died following his beloved.

Hugo's novels are cumbersome and lengthy, and they often like to brag about certain things, such as love, etc. However, they are indeed very moving when they are read.
