Ursus was a man, Homo a wolf: the former a travelling mountebank, the latter his faithful companion. Gwynplaine was abducted as an infant, and cruelly mutilated so that his face shows the permanent smile of a clown. Abandoned by his abductors some years later, Gwynplaine rescues a blind baby girl from the frozen corpse of her mother at the foot of a gibbet. Time passes, and the young girl -- christened Dea -- comes to love Gwynplaine. Being blind, she is unaware of his disfigurement, but from passing her fingers over his face, assumes that he is always happy. Ursus and Homo meet up with Gwynplaine and Dea, and travel around England performing at funfairs. After some vicissitudes, Gwynplaine is, surprisingly, summoned to the court of Queen Anne, where it is revealed that he is in fact the missing heir of the murdered Lord Linnaeus Clancharlie, Marquis of Corleone. He is, accordingly, installed as an English peer; but when he addresses the House of Lords is ridiculed for his clownish features. He renounces his peerage and rejoins his companions, who resolve to abandon England forever.During the voyage, while Ursus sleeps, Dea reveals to Gwynplaine her secret passion for him, then dies. Gwynplaine drowns himself. Victor Hugo's gothic tale has been the inspiration of numerous plays, films (the first in 1909) novels and short stories. Following a distinguished career as a civil servant, James Hogarth acquired a reputation as a versatile and punctilious translator. His translations span travel guides, archaeological texts, and novels. In 2002 he won the French-American Foundation Translation Prize for his English translation of Victor Hugo's Travailleurs de la Mer. He died in 2006.

Moving away from the explicitly political content of his previous novels, Victor Hugo turns to social commentary in The Man Who Laughs, an 1869 work that was made into a popular film in the 1920s. The plot deals with a band of miscreants who deliberately deform children to make them more effective beggars, as well as the long-lasting emotional and social damage that this abhorrent practice inflicts upon its victims.

Before he is born, Dominic Jerome Marcus develops a theory: He predicts his birth and future life. Dom looks forward to the expanded universe his fetal brain foresees, for the spirit of adventure was in him from conception, and along with it came the spirit of laughter.New Orleans---On April Fool's Day, A.D. 2000, Dominic is literally born laughing, wild exuberant laughter that shakes his entire little frame. And that eerie look of knowing! His frightened mother rejects him, and the infant is eventually forced to kill his brutal father in self-defense.Under the care and tutelage of "Doc" DiGiralomo, an iconoclastic, curmudgeonly psychiatrist, and Sister Mary Clotilda, a tough, cussin' Cajun nun, Dom enters a life of superlative scientific and literary achievements and of high-risk adventure. His is an independent, free spirit, and he cheerfully accepts the strife that is the price of freedom.Rural Mississippi---On the day of Dom's birth, another superhuman, Jessie Wayne Carson, the infant who is to become the Divine Father, enters the world, first making his presence known through healing the infirm and duplicating the miracles of Jesus. The spirit of gravity, the Divine Father despises levity as irreverence toward authority and towards life. He plans a world of everlasting peace, where he could rule over a self-perpetuating dystopia of lobotomized people, created after a prolonged series of ghastly experiments. He recognizes Dom, The Laughing Man, as his fated nemesis, and seeks to destroy him.The Divine Father identifies Rukiya, a child born in tribal Africa, as a fellow member of the superior species. Recognizing that she is destined to grow into an ebony goddess, he murders her parents and kidnaps her to be his empress.He gives Rukiya three tasks to prove he worthiness: The first is to bring him "the grinning skull of the Laughing Man." The second is to neutralize Helena Stirling, the electrifying writer whose novels of heroic, iron-willed individualists are "twisted fairy tails, where selfishness is virtue and altruism is vice." This charismatic personality, born Helena Mikhalovna Danielovich in St. Petersburg, Russia, was a deviant from the political correctness of the Soviet Union. Helena defected to the United States as a young adult, and having experienced a Communist society first-hand, she became a powerful champion of capitalism and individualism in her fiction. The third task is for Rukiya to silence the glorious song and laughter of diva Bianca Angeli, with whom the Divine Father had had a love-hate relationship.But Rukiya hides from the Divine Father that she seeks to avenge her parents. She joins forces with Dom, and they find in each other their ideal mates. Along with Helena and Bianca, they fake the completion of the tasks, and engage the Divine Father and his minions in a climactic battle to the death.
