Book Review: The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
Summary: 4 Stars
An excellent, very readable translation of the UNCUT original, revealing it to be a lot more panoramic than I expected, a much broader look at the city of Paris, its physical presence, and all the people who inhabited it in Victor Hugo's time, and not focused so exclusively on the one familiar title character - a title which was not Hugo's own, but was applied to the first English translation by the publisher; Hugo titled his work "Notre-Dame de Paris". The introduction is lucid and passionate, and for scholars, there are extensive explanations of Hugo's topical references at the end of the book.
Summary of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (Modern Library Classics)
Set in medieval Paris, Victor Hugo's powerful historical romance The Hunchback of Notre-Dame has resonated with succeeding generations ever since its publication in 1837. It tells the story of the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda, condemned as a witch by the tormented archdeacon Claude Frollo, who lusts after her. Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, having fallen in love with the kindhearted Esmeralda, tries to save her by hiding her in the cathedral's tower. When a crowd of Parisian peasants, misunderstanding Quasimodo's motives, attacks the church in an attempt to liberate her, the story ends in tragedy.Hugo, Victor Books
