Synopsis

"The Man Who Laughs" is a work written by Hugo during his exile and published in 1869. The story takes place in England at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Due to the power struggle within the royal family, the aristocratic Guan Bocang was disfigured by child traffickers when he was a child, turned into a "Laughing Man" and abandoned on the coast on a cold winter night. The kind-hearted homeless man Wossus took in him and a baby girl named Dee. After growing up through hardships, Guan Bocang and Di became an ideal couple and developed a deep friendship with Wosus and his wolf Omohong. Then, an unexpected discovery by Gong Yan's internal spy, Bakir Fetro, destroyed the good life of Guan Bocang's family and pushed the couple towards death and destruction. The novel expresses the eternal pain of mankind and symbolizes the brutal destruction of human rights, justice, truth and wisdom. The protagonist's love tragedy is a tragic song of that unjust society.

Reader comments

I read Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Les Misérables" in middle school. Later, "Les Misérables" was reread several times at different ages. I heard from my mother that Hugo also had a copy of "The Man Who Laughs", but I never read it until today. Why are you telling me that the book is finished when it seems like it's just begun? I'd better go to Xinhua Bookstore to confirm.
