The Hunchback of Notre-Dame: Victor Hugo

Three men fall in love with the beautiful street dancer Esmerelda: the handsome Captain Phoebus, the wicked Archdeacon Frollo, and the hunchbacked bell-ringer Quasimodo. As the romantic rivals compete for their beloved's affection against the backdrop of the famous cathedral, a tale of villainous plots, dark passions, and heartfelt redemption unfolds.
First published in 1831, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is one of the greatest love stories ever told and an ambitious and evocative portrait of 15th-century Paris.
