Notre Dame De Paris
About This Novel
Set in France in 1482, this book creates vivid images - the innocent and pure Gypsy girl Esmeralda, the young and handsome guard captain Phobis, the sanctimonious and sinister bishop's deputy Frollo, the deformed and ugly but kind-hearted bell ringer Quasi Mordo... The work takes the relationship between these characters as the main line and tells a strange story with the distinctive colors of the customs of 15th century Paris. Esmeralda, the incarnation of beauty and goodness, was finally slandered as a "witch" and a "murderer" by the church and the court, and was sentenced to hanging; Quasimordo finally recognized Frollo's ferocious face, pushed him down from the top of the bell tower and fell to death. He came to the execution ground and escaped into the cemetery with Esmeralda's body... Rich imagination, grotesque plots, and peculiar structures constitute the author's eternal destiny theme of telling the contradictions between human beings, religion, society, and nature. This translation is free and easy, using mostly short sentences and a lively rhythm.
