Notre-Dame de Paris - Victor Hugo

The story centers on Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and his tragic love for the kind and beautiful gypsy, Esmeralda. Set in 15th-century Paris, the story intertwines passion, fate, and injustice within a vividly depicted medieval world. As love and obsession drive the characters toward ruin, the cathedral itself stands as a powerful symbol of faith and endurance. Hugo’s novel explores beauty, compassion, and the cruelty of societal prejudice.
