Two of them will betray her, but the others will remain loyal, even in the shadow of the gallows. These outlaws find sanctuary within the walls of medieval Paris' greatest monument, the grand Cathedral of Notre Dame.<br>What a beautiful thing <i>Notre-Dame</i> is! declared Gustave Flaubert of Victor Hugo's 1837 novel. Originally published as <i>Notre-Dame de Paris</i> (Our Lady of Paris), it was conceived as a story of the cathedral itself, which functioned as the passionate heart of fifteenth-century city life. But Hugo's human drama rivals the Gothic masterpiece for dominance. Drawn with humor and compassion, his characters endure, both in literary history and in readers' imaginations: Frollo, the sinister archdeacon; Quasimodo, the hideous hunchback; and the enchanting outcast, Esmeralda.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>French poet, playwright, novelist, and activist, Victor Hugo is best known as the author of <i>Les Miserables</i>. A leader of the French Romantic movement, he was one of the most prolific authors in history and his career reflects a turning point in French literature.
