<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Set in medieval Paris, Victor Hugo's powerful historical romance <i>The Hunchback of Notre-Dame</i> has resonated with succeeding generations ever since its publication in 1837. It tells the story of the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda, condemned as a witch by the tormented archdeacon Claude Frollo, who lusts after her. Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, having fallen in love with the kindhearted Esmeralda, tries to save her by hiding her in the cathedral's tower. When a crowd of Parisian peasants, misunderstanding Quasimodo's motives, attacks the church in an attempt to liberate her, the story ends in tragedy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"What a beautiful thing <i>Notre-Dame</i> is!" --<b>Gustave Flaubert</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Catherine Liu</b> is an associate professor in the cultural studies and comparative literature department at the University of Minnesota.
