Book Description
This historically significant novel of love and betrayal led to a renewed interest in preserving the grand architecture of Paris. Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame was written in 1831, at a time when the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was falling into disrepair. This epic novel helped spark a preservationist movement that led to the cathedral being restored to its full glory. Set in 1482, the story tells of how four men—the hunchbacked bell-ringer, Quasimodo; the archdeacon of Notre Dame, Claude Frollo; the dashing soldier Phoebus de Chateaupers; and the poet Pierre Gringoire—vie for the love of Esmeralda, a young Romani woman. As the story unfolds, readers come to realize that the focus of the story is not only on the human characters but on the grand cathedral itself.

Book Description
The genesis of Victor Hugo's 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame can be traced back to a single word. That word was "fate" written in Greek and carved into a wall on one the Notre Dame cathedral towers. From that chance discovery did the author fashion a timeless tale bursting with the power of myth in which each of the main characters represents a certain quality of human character which drives them. The theme of the novel is expressed in the fact that these qualities of human character are at the mercy of a controlling fate.None of the characters undergo any remarkable transformation and likewise none are able to use the force of sheer will to transcend their destinies. Notre Dame takes center stage in the lives of the good-Quasimodo and Esmeralda-as well as the evil Claude Frollo. Its majesty is a place that draws those of every ilk, social strata and moral development. The cathedral does not intervene and it does no intercede; it merely stand uncrumbling through time a witness to the fates playing out within. The symbolism is obvious, but story and characters so powerful and the themes so universal that The Hunchback of the Notre Dame has been adapted into everything from multiple ballets and films to operas and rock musicals to a Disney animated feature and an early 80's video game.

Book Description
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris) is an 1831 French novel written by Victor Hugo. It is set in 1482 in Paris, in and around the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. The book tells the story of a poor barefoot Gypsy girl (La Esmeralda) and a misshapen bell-ringer (Quasimodo) who was raised by the Archdeacon (Claude Frollo). The book was written as a statement to preserve the Notre Dame cathedral and not to 'modernize' it, as Hugo was thoroughly against this. The story begins during the Renaissance in 1482, the day of the Festival of Fools in Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer, is introduced by his crowning as Pope of Fools. Esméralda, a beautiful 16-year-old gypsy with a kind and generous heart, captures the hearts of many men but especially Quasimodo's adopted father, Claude Frollo. Frollo is torn between his lust and the rules of the church. He orders Quasimodo to get her. Quasimodo is caught and whipped and ordered to be tied down in the heat. Esméralda seeing his thirst, offers him water. It saves her, for she captures the heart of the hunchback.
