Synopsis

"Notre Dame de Paris" tells a story that happened in France in the 15th century in a bizarre and contrasting way: Frollo, the vice-president of Notre Dame de Paris, was sanctimonious and vicious, loving first and then hating, and persecuting 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.

The plot of this book is so exciting! Especially the part where Quasimodo fought against the evil forces in order to save Esmeralda, I was very moved. His kindness and bravery are in sharp contrast to Frollo's hypocrisy and viciousness. There is also Esmeralda, her beauty and purity make people pity, and her experience also makes people sad. This book allowed me to see the complexity of human nature and the darkness of society. It is really a good book worth reading!
