Description

The unforgettable story of Quasimodo, the hunchback bellringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and his devotion to the beautiful gypsy dancer Las Esmeralda is one of the great romantic novels of all time. Set against a vivid background of medieval Paris, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame tells a story as subtle as it is sensational. It centres on the demented archdeacon Frollo, who sets out to abduct La Esmeralda and uses Quasimodo to do the evil deed on his behalf. But his plan is foiled when Esmeralda is thought to have killed Phoebus, the man she was in love with, and Quasimodo, once her captor, is transformed into her saviour.
