Lovely Esmeralda, haunted by an obsessive would-be lover and unjustly accused of murder, unexpectedly finds a tormented protector in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Quasimodo the hunchback keeps to his duties as bell-ringer of Notre Dame cathedral and stays close to his guardian, the Archdeacon Claude Frollo. His devotion proves misguided when a plan of Frollo's goes wrong and Quasimodo finds himself abused by a crowd and shown mercy only by the gypsy girl Esmeralda. The hunchback's love and resolve to protect her leads to desperate action and tragedy when she is falsely accused of murder. Emotions run high as society's elite falters and fails, and the lowest misfits of society prove their worth in this timeless epic of love, justice and redemption. The novel's human characters have all but taken on lives of their own, but notice must be made of the author's treatment of Notre Dame as the cathedral virtually becomes a character itself. The book's loving descriptions spurred increased appreciation of Notre Dame as a symbol of Paris and inspired its preservation and renovation. The Hunchback of Notre Dame was first published in 1831 and has since been adapted to stage and screen many times, with more than one of the film versions attaining classic status.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is both modern and readable.
