The Man Who Laughs = Человек, который смеётся

In the gothic novel «The Man Who Laughs», Victor Hugo reflected not only the social inequality that, in one form or another, still exists today, but also touches on the question of humanity. What does it mean to be human? Is appearance often a reflection of a person's soul? The main character - Gwynplaine, mutilated in childhood, managed to preserve the purity of his soul and heart and, overcoming all the hardships of life that fell to his lot, realizes that wealth does not guarantee happiness, and true love is blind and does not notice external flaws.
