$29.99
Paris, 1482. In the vaulted towers of Notre-Dame, dark passions haunt the tortured priest Frollo, whose hidden love for young Esmeralda corrupts a pious soul with forbidden remorse. And in the shadows of the bell towers, the broken figure of Quasimodo watches love turns to hatred as the fate of Notre-Dame is drawn into a tale of lust and vengeance.
Widely acclaimed as one of the most influential writers of all time, Victor Hugo (1802 – 1885) was the forefront author of the Romantic Literary movement, producing an exceptional variety of genres that came to define the artistic turn of the 19th century, including the national French Epic The Legend of the Ages and the dramatic tale of Les Misérables.
With Notre-Dame de Paris, Hugo depicts the vibrant, intense atmosphere of 15th century Paris, a vision that brought forth a resurgent fascination for the Gothic Era, making the cathedral of Notre-Dame a global architectural icon and paving the way for the preservation of cultural heritage.
