About this Edition

"Notre-Dame de Paris" by Victor Hugo is a French Gothic novel published in 1831. Set in 15th-century Paris, it tells the tragic story of Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, the beautiful Romani dancer Esmeralda, and the obsessed Archdeacon Claude Frollo. Their intertwined fates unfold against the backdrop of the iconic cathedral, which Hugo championed for preservation. A model of Romantic literature, the novel explores impossible love, jealousy, and the plight of society's outcasts in a tale that has become a classic of French literature.
