The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

“To be hated! to love with all the fury of one's soul; to feel that one would give for the least of her smiles, one's blood, one's vitals, one's fame, one's salvation, one's immortality and eternity.”Set against the grandeur of medieval Paris, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo is a timeless tale of love, social injustice and tragedy. In the shadow of the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral as a symbol, Quasimodo, a deformed bell-ringer, falls deeply in love with the beautiful Esmeralda. Caught in a web of unrequited love, jealousy and moral conflict, Quasimodo's loyalty to the innocent dancer brings him face-to-face with dark forces, including the power-hungry archdeacon Frollo. Victor Hugo's powerful novel unveils a world of passion, tragedy and the cruel injustices that define humanity." Read more
