Notre-Dame de Paris

Book • 1831
The novel, more commonly known as 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame', is set in Paris during the reign of Louis XI in 1482.

It revolves around Quasimodo, the deaf and deformed bellringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and his unrequited love for Esmeralda, a beautiful gypsy dancer.

The story also involves the sinister Archdeacon Claude Frollo, who is obsessed with Esmeralda, and Captain Phoebus, who is the object of Esmeralda's affections.

The novel is a vivid portrayal of medieval Paris, its culture, and its architecture, with Hugo advocating for the preservation of Gothic heritage.

The story is marked by themes of love, lust, justice, and tragedy, and it is known for its detailed descriptions of Paris and its historical context.
