Victor Hugo’s The Man Who Laughs is a haunting masterpiece that blends history, romance, and social critique. Set in late seventeenth-century England, the novel follows the life of Gwynplaine, a boy disfigured by cruel hands into a permanent grin. 

Fragile but in good condition, no stains. Red cloth cover. Ribbon bookmark separated. Research suggests published in 1900 or thereabouts but there is no date in book.
