About This Novel
This book is a love novel written by the great French writer Hugo in 1831. It uses bizarre and contrasting techniques to tell a story that happened in France in the 15th century: Claude, the vice-president of Notre Dame de Paris, was sanctimonious and vicious, he loved first and then hated, and he persecuted the Gypsy girl Esmeralda. The ugly but kind-hearted bell ringer Quasimodo sacrifices his life to save the girl. The novel exposes the hypocrisy of religion, declares the bankruptcy of asceticism, praises the kindness, friendship and self-sacrifice of the lower working people, and reflects Hugo's humanitarian thoughts. Hugo's first novel with widespread influence.
