childhood, who made a fairground jester out of the child by carving a mask of 'eternal laughter' on his face (at the courts of European nobility at that time, there was a fashion for cripples and freaks who amused their masters and guests; the activities of the compracicos were sometimes even encouraged). A romantic story, a social tragedy, adventures, and unexpected twists of plot - in one of the masterpieces of French literature. Ruined by bandits in childhood, the hero becomes a jester and a vagabond, but despite all the trials, he retains love and nobility.
A new series of classics for fans of 'Magistral. The Main Trend' in hardcover. Impeccability of style, conciseness, tactile materials, colored endpapers, and a design on the edges.
