"Notre Dame Cathedral" is a gripping novel, brought to the world the glory of Victor Hugo. Notre Dame, with its mysterious Gothic world, with its references to the supernatural, becomes the place where life is marred by the humiliation and endowed with a terrible physical force, from the force of circumstances, breaks the beauty. This is another perspective on the later middle ages, immortal romantic legend, which Victor Hugo prompted the word carved into the wall of the Cathedral: ROCK. The writer leafed through a book of centuries and erected near the Gothic Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris - the immortal literary Cathedral.

2) Notre Dame Cathedral
The novel of Victor Hugo "the Man who laughs" takes place in England of the late XVII - early XVIII centuries. Gwynplaine is Lord by birth, my childhood was sold to the bandits, the comprachicos made from a child's fairground clown, the cut on his face mask "eternal laughter" (the courts of European nobility at that time there was a fashion for cripples and freaks, zabalawi hosts and guests that the work of the comprachicos sometimes even encouraged). In spite of all tests, Gwynplaine saved the best human qualities and their love. One of the famous adaptations – a silent movie of 1928 by Director Paul Leni, in which the classic ending of the novel is replaced with a happy end.
