The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
In medieval Paris the deaf bell-ringer Quasimodo, the beautiful dancer Esmeralda, and the tormented archdeacon Frollo are bound together in the shadow of the great cathedral, which Hugo makes the living heart of the book. A vast, passionate romance of pity and cruelty.
No companion available yet.
Sweeping, theatrical, and deeply humane, a story of outcasts and obsession set against one of the great cathedrals of the world. Hugo at his most operatic, tender to the despised and merciless to the powerful.
SettingParis, 1482
Fifteenth-century Paris, a teeming medieval city of beggars, clerics, and kings clustered around its cathedral, recreated by a nineteenth-century Romantic in love with the past he feared was vanishing.
