| Publisher Description: ★ The Hunchback of Notre Dame has been enjoyed by readers for almost 200 years ★ The Hunchback of Notre Dame, originally titled Notre-Dame de Paris or "Our Lady of Paris," is a French Gothic novel written by Victor Hugo in 1831. This classic historical fiction book is a extraordinary blend of beauty and ugliness, hope and hopelessness, love and obsession, romance and tragedy. The story takes place in medieval Paris, during the reign of Louis XI. It follows the haunting drama of the beautiful Esmerelda, a gypsy dancer who captures the hearts of many men; Frollo, a tortured priest who is torn between his own lust and the condemnation of the church; and of Quasimodo, the disfigured apprentice who finds solace in an unlikely love that is fulfilled only in death. This beautiful reprint of the original story is unedited and unabridged, preserving The Hunchback of Notre Dame for your reading pleasure. It makes a wonderful gift for the gothic fiction or historical romance fan in your life or a wonderful addition to your library of classic French literature. Enjoy Excerpt: "...his whole person was a grimace. A huge head, bristling with red hair; between his shoulders an enormous hump, a counterpart perceptible in front; a system of thighs and legs so strangely astray that they could touch each other only at the knees, and, viewed from the front, resembled the crescents of two scythes joined by the handles; large feet, monstrous hands; and, with all this deformity, an indescribable and redoubtable air of vigor, agility, and courage, -strange exception to the eternal rule which wills that force as well as beauty shall be the result of harmony."
