One of Victor Hugo's most famous masterpieces, it is Hugo's most romantic novel. Hugo is known as the leader of French Romantic literature.
Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Full Color Youth Edition)" created an image of the ugly bell ringer Quasimodo, and became a very classic literary image in the world. Although the bell ringer is ugly, he is kind and brave at heart, almost the embodiment of justice. He protected the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda. The novel shows Hugo's strong hatred for the feudal government and the church: it also reflects his deep sympathy for the lower class people.
Reader comments
This book is so wonderful! Hugo's Quasimodo impressed me deeply. Although he looks ugly, he is kind and brave in his heart. He is simply the embodiment of justice. This reminds me of Jean Valjean in "Les Misérables". They are both people who remain kind in suffering. "Notre Dame de Paris" not only shows hatred for feudal forces, but also expresses sympathy for the people at the bottom. It is a classic worth reading.
