It starts on the night of January 29, 1690, a ten-year-old boy abandoned -- the stern men who've kept him since infancy have wearied of him.

Victor Hugo is one of my favorite authors, and I was not disappointed with this book. He manages to produce a plot so deftly woven that we are carried away with its current, and never fail to be abrupted when we land on the shore whose course was laid for us all through the story.Somehow Hugo also manages to show us humans as the multi-dimensional things we are, responding banally to the storms and respits our souls encounter. We cannot help but despair when in trials, and think ourselves in

I have another month before graduate school starts, so I've been binge reading. The Man who Laughs is Hugo's 3rd most famous novel. Despite it being FAR shorter than Hunchback or Les Mis, it often feels longer. Sadly, the Man who Laughs sees all of Hugo's worst writing habits in full bloom and with no constraint.Firstly, it must be said that Victor Hugo was a creative genius!

Miraculous. Tremendous. Unreal. Wonderful. Unforgettable. Great.

There is a silent German film of this book, starring the wonderful Conrad Veidt. The make-up for the smiling rictus of the main character is quite

Here's an article about how The Joker is based on the dude from this book. I skipped over the part about this book because it smelled spoilery.
