Description
Victor Hugo's Gothic novel brings to life the medieval Paris he loved, and mourns its passing in a sensational and evocative tale of dark passions and unrequited love. In the heart of the city, a young gypsy dancer named Esmerelda has captured the heart of a hunchbacked bellringer, Quasimodo, who is shunned by society for his appearance. As Quasimodo becomes devoted to Esmerelda, he finds himself at the centre of a sinister plot by the archdeacon Claude Frollo, who seeks to destroy her. This revised edition of Hugo's novel includes a clear and contemporary translation, accompanied by an introduction that explores the novel as a passionate defence of Gothic architecture and democracy. With its rich historical context and moral complexity, this novel remains a compelling and thought-provoking read.
