A historically significant novel of love and betrayal that led to a renewed interest in preserving the grand architecture of Paris.
Victor Hugo’s
The Hunchback of Notre Dame was written in 1831, at a time when the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was falling into disrepair.
This epic novel helped spark a preservationist movement that led to the cathedral being restored to its full glory. Set in 1482, the story tells of how four men—the hunchbacked bell-ringer, Quasimodo; the archdeacon of Notre Dame, Claude Frollo; the dashing soldier Phoebus de Chateaupers; and the poet Pierre Gringoire—vie for the love of Esmeralda, a young Romani woman.
As the story unfolds, readers come to realize that the focus of the story is not only on the human characters but on the grand cathedral itself.
