Synopsis

When you get an idea into your head you find it in everything.”
“A one-eyed man is much more incomplete than a blind man, for he knows what it is that's lacking.”
“mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain.”
“One drop of wine is enough to redden a whole glass of water.”
“He reached for his pocket, and found there, only reality”
“You would have imagined her at one moment a maniac, at another a queen.”

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.

Goodreads review by Bill on May 26, 2020

I recently read Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris for the first time, and was delighted and moved by the experience. Although it lacks the depth and humanity of Les Miserables, it possesses a grandeur of architectonic structure and an Olympian compassion all its own. Best of all, it gives us one of......more

I have officially been wooed by nineteenth century French literature. First Dumas and now this. I just finished reading Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, and it was fantastic. The characters, the themes, the literary structures… Ahhh… *swoons* Before I proclaim my love affair with Victor Hug......more

For some reason, English translations chose the the Hunchback for the title. If other books, movies, or TV shows nam......more

Inicio lento, final espectacular. Cuando niño amé mi infancia; jugaba sin parar, me encantaba hablar hasta el punto que me obligaban a callar y los deportes eran mi centro de atención en todo momento. Cuando estaba en esa etapa de mi vida —que por cierto extraño y de la cual siento nostalgia cada vez......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on April 05, 2023

To była żmudna przeprawa. Myślę, że bez audiobooka bym nie podołała. Z minusów: Mnóstwo opisów architektury, które były bardzo szczegółowe. Czasami dziwne przeskoki czasowe. Z plusów: Smutna, piękna historia. Trudne i łamiące serce tematy. Bohaterowie niesamowicie dobrze skonstruowani.......more
