The plot deals with a band of miscreants who deliberately deform children to make them more effective beggars, as well as the long-lasting emotional and social damage that this abhorrent practice inflicts upon its victims. 517 1 $aL'homme qui rit 606 $aFacial expression$vFiction 606 $aMan-woman relationships$vFiction 606 $aFemmes fatales$vFiction 615 0$aFacial expression 615 0$aMan-woman relationships 615 0$aFemmes fatales 676 $a153.69 700 $aHugo$b Victor$f1802-1885,$0175104 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809836803321 996 $aThe man who laughs$93914083 997 $aUNINA
