Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
(Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
One of the world's most iconic novels—a timeless story of love in the face of difference and prejudice, known also as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame—in a sparkling new translation commemorating the restoration of Paris's Notre-Dame Cathedral
A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper
Before the huge crowd that packed the cathedral square, La Esmeralda stood between two executioners. Suddenly Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame, rushed at the executioners and felled them with his enormous fists. He snatched the gypsy girl in one arm and ran with her into the church. A moment later he appeared at the top of the bell tower. Holding the girl above his head, he showed her triumphantly to all of Paris while his thunderous voice roared savagely to the sky: “Sanctuary! Sanctuary! Sanctuary!”
Set amid the riot, intrigue, and pageantry of medieval Paris, Victor Hugo’s masterful tale of heroism and adventure has been a perennial favorite since its first publication in 1831 and remains one of the most thrilling stories of all time.
