Synopsis

Originally published in 1831, "Notre-Dame de Paris" is one of Victor Hugo's most renowned novels. The story unfolds in 15th-century Paris and revolves around the majestic Cathedral of Notre-Dame. The narrative interweaves the lives of its characters, including the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda, the deformed bell-ringer Quasimodo, the vain archdeacon Claude Frollo, and the dashing Captain Phoebus. Through its intricate plot, the novel delves into themes of love, passion, sacrifice, and societal judgment. Simultaneously, Hugo offers readers a rich depiction of medieval Paris, highlighting both its architectural wonders and the societal contrasts of the age.

About Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo (1802–1885) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France.

In France, Hugo's literary reputation rests primarily on his poetic and dramatic output and only secondarily on his novels. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Legende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. In the English-speaking world, his best-known works are the novels Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. His other novels include The Last Days of a Condemned Man, Toilers of the Sea, and The Man Who Laughs.
