The narrative follows Gwynplaine, the two-year-old heir to a rebel lord, who is abducted upon the orders of a vindictive monarch, who has him mutilated (to produce a permanent, grisly smile), then abandoned. After years of living frugally he is re-introduced to the aristocratic life, and resolves to become the voice of the voiceless, whether he is heard or not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor David Hine and artist Mark Stafford introduce Hugo’s classic to a new generation of fans in this graphic-novel adaptation of abduction, mutilation, loss, and prejudice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2013\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: SelfMadeHero\u003cbr\u003ePages: 160\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 1906838585\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9781906838584\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victor Hugo; David Hine; Mark Stafford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52332232442122,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781906838584.jpg?v=1767101325","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-man-who-laughs","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
