About this audiobook

La tragedia de un muchacho deformado. Victor Hugo logro en El Hombre Que Rie una de las novelas mas personales, al tiempo que una de las historias mas dramaticas de toda la literatura. Su protagonista es un muchacho secuestrado por roba-ninos, que han deformado su cara en tal forma que esta ostenta una permanente sonrisa, independientemente de como se sienta. Despues de una vida de aventuras, logra recuperar sus derechos, pero cuando en uso de ellos lanza una pieza brillante de oratoria para describir los sufrimientos de los otros, su cara deforme hace creer que esta echando un chiste y todos se ríen de el.

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) is one of the most well-regarded French writers of the nineteenth century. He was a poet, novelist and dramatist, and he is best remembered in English as the author of Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) (1831) and Les Misérables (1862). Hugo was born in Besançon, and became a pivotal figure of the Romantic movement in France, involved in both literature and politics. He founded the literary magazine Conservateur Littéraire in 1819, aged just seventeen, and turned his hand to writing political verse and drama after the accession to the throne of Louis-Philippe in 1830. His literary output was curtailed following the death of his daughter in 1843, but he began a new novel as an outlet for his grief. Completed many years later, this novel became Hugo's most notable work, Les Misérables.

    I really, really wanted to love this story but... Hugo was a great writer. there is no doubt about it. But this story has so many peaks and valleys that it is almost unbearable. Until now I thought Melmoth the Wanderer was the most difficult book I've read. I wanted to love this book so bad. But reading it was like swimming through concrete. The parts with our protagonist were incredible. The main characters are very memorable. The down points are Hugo and his penchant for pointless description. Pages of peoples names, who they were and what they did. This honestly served no point to the story. Unlike the Hunchback they had no purpose. It is a sad story, a moving story and one I won't forget for a very long time. But even for a piece in its time it is very slow.

    Perhaps not as famous as some of his other work, this chunky novel by Victor Hugo nonetheless deserves to be read. His usual emphatic vision and majestic prose describe the tragic and infinitely touching story of Gwynplaine, a disfigured boy in 17th century England condemned to exhibiting himself in fairs for the mob's enjoyment. He loves his companion, Dea, who is able to love him back because she is blind and can only see his noble heart. What could be clumsily told by another less talented writer becomes, in the hands of Hugo, a universal pamphlet for humanity and against injustice. The plot might seem basic, but wait for the twist...
