“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."
Victor Hugo (1802–1885) was a French writer, poet, playwright and one of the most prominent figures of the Romantic literary movement. His works span a variety of genres, but he is best known for his novels Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, which have become staples of world literature. Exiled after Napoleon III’s coup, he spent nearly two decades continuing to write and champion the causes he believed in. His works have been translated into various languages and adapted into plays and films. Hugo was also a political activist, advocating for democracy, republicanism and the rights of the oppressed, which was also reflected in his novels. His political involvement and passion for preserving France’s cultural heritage cemented his place as a national icon.
