The Hunchback of Notre-Dame - Softcover

Through The hunchback of Notre-Dame is an encyclopedic reconstruction of 15th -century Paris, the book has become part of our collective mythology because of its wonderful storytelling and unforgettable characters. There is the powerful but hideously misshapen Quasimodo, who is abandoned as an infant in the church of Notre-Dame. The one-eyed, deaf monster is feared and mocked by the people of Paris, but Hugo portrays him as a sympathetic, if tragis, figure. Then there is the man who adopts Quasimodo, Archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, whose superior intellect is in sharp contrast to his dessicated soul... A masterpiece of classic literature.
