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
Set in medieval Paris, Victor Hugo’s powerful historical romance The Hunchback of Notre-Dame has resonated with succeeding generations ever since its publication in 1837. It tells the story of the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda, condemned as a witch by the tormented archdeacon Claude Frollo, who lusts after her. Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, having fallen in love with the kindhearted Esmeralda, tries to save her by hiding her in the cathedral’s tower. When a crowd of Parisian peasants, misunderstanding Quasimodo’s motives, attacks the church in an attempt to liberate her, the story ends in tragedy.
