The Man who Laughs, Paperback/***

Victor Hugo's scathing indictment of the injustice and inequality within Britain's political system tells a story of Gwynplaine, the two-year-old heir to a rebel lord, who is abducted, then abandoned. Years later he is re-introduced to the aristocratic life, and resolves to become the voice of the voiceless, whether he is heard or not.
