In 1869 appeared a fourth important romance by Victor Hugo, the strange and grotesque L'Homme qui Rit.
Yet, notwithstanding its evidences of power, L'Homme qui Rit failed to obtain that deep hold upon the public mind which was secured by its predecessors.
Accrocher Un homme qui se noie s’accroche à tout = A drowning man catches at a straw.
Arriver C’est un homme qui arrivera = He is sure to get on in the world.
Dieu nous garde d’un homme qui n’a qu’une affaire = God save us from the man of one idea.
C’est unhomme qui s’affiche = He is a man who tries to get talked about (generally in a disparaging sense).
C’est un homme qui ne se laisse pas passer la plume par le bec = He is a man not easily taken in.
L'Homme Qui Rit is probably the maddest book in recognised literature; certainly the maddest written by an author of supreme genius without the faintest notion that he was making himself ridiculous.
The major part of L'Homme Qui Rit is like the utterance of a drunk child who had something of the pseudo-Homeric Margites in him, who "knew a great many things and knew them all badly.
Certainly, also, one can laugh over L'Homme Qui Rit and its picture of the English aristocracy.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "homme qui" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
