Fernando De Felipe library: The man who laughs

    Originally published in 1992, with Fernando De Felipe as the sole author, El hombre que ríe adapts the Victor Hugo novel of the same name, presenting the reader with the story of Gwynplane: a boy with a mutilated face who one stormy night comes across Dea, a new-born baby girl lying in her dead mother’s arms. Both are adopted by the solitary Ursus, with whom they perform in a travelling show. But Gwyn soon discovers his true origin, and nothing will ever be the same again.

    A new instalment from the Fernando De Felipe library, which collects the complete works of the Aragonese author in a series of new editions with additional unpublished material.
