Notre-Dame De Paris
By Victor HugoPublisher Description
Victor Hugo's 1831 book The Hunchback of Notre-Dame de Paris is a work of French Gothic literature. The book has been called a foundational piece of French literature. The Renaissance backdrop, improbable love triangles, and marginalized individuals are all aspects of the work that make it a perfect example of Romanticism's literary ideas.Esmeralda, a stunning 16-year-old Gypsy dancer, piques the love and attention of several men in the novel, which is set in Paris in 1482 under the reign of Louis XI. Frollo and Gringoire remove Esmeralda from the church. Gypsy commander Clopin Trouillefou organizes the Court of Miracles to attack Notre Dame. The king hears the commotion as Quasimodo protects the church from the intruders. The king was misinformed and believed that people storming the church wanted to hang her rather than attempt to save her.When Quashimodo notices this, he forces the archdeacon to jump to his death from the cathedral's roof. He disappears, having nothing left to live for, and is never seen again. His twisted skeleton is discovered hugging another in the charnel house of a mass burial in the epilogue, implying that he lay next to her and died gradually.
