Notre-Dame De Paris

In medieval Paris, the deformed bell-ringer Quasimodo, the beautiful gypsy dancer Esmeralda, and the tormented archdeacon Frollo are bound together in a tragedy of love, obsession, and cruelty that plays out in the shadow of the great cathedral of Notre-Dame. Hugo makes the cathedral itself a character, mourning its neglect and celebrating the Gothic grandeur of old Paris. Sweeping, passionate, and darkly romantic, the novel is a masterpiece of French literature that helped save Notre-Dame from demolition and gave the world one of its most enduring stories of beauty and the beast. Rich in spectacle and heartbreak, it remains unforgettable.
