Annotated ContentThis fully annotated edition includes: Historical ContextDetailed 19th Century AnalysisA Gothic Romance Masterpiece That Belongs on Every Bookshelf!Victor Hugo's masterpiece, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, is a work of French Gothic literature that is set in Paris during the 15th-century and tells the story of Quasimodo, his guardian Archdeacon Claude Frollo and Esmeralda. The Renaissance era, impossible love affairs, and marginalized individuals, makes this work a model of Romantic literary themes.Sneak Peek“And then, Phœbus was alive; she was sure of it, she had seen him. To her the fact of Phœbus being alive was everything. After the series of fatal shocks which had overturned everything within her, she had found but one thing intact in her soul, one sentiment,—her love for the captain. Love is like a tree; it sprouts forth of itself, sends its roots out deeply through our whole being, and often continues to flourish greenly over a heart in ruins.”SummaryQuasimodo, a hunchbacked bellringer, resides in the vaulted Gothic towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Only Esmerelda, a lovely gypsy street dancer, begins to feel sorry for him because of how he is treated and rejected by others for his appearance. However, Esmerelda has also caught the evil eye of Claude Frollo. When she rejects his obscene attempts, Frollo constructs a plan to destroy her that only Quasimodo can stop. One of the most romantic historical novels of the nineteenth century, Victor Hugo's captivating thriller vividly recreates the medieval Paris he adored and misses.A Remarkable Reprint At Timeless Publications, our team has taken every step possible to ensure the original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
