Notre-Dame de Paris (annotated)Notre-Dame de Paris (annotated)

At the center of Hugo's classic novel are three extraordinary characters caught in a web of fatal obsession. The grotesque hunchback Quasimodo, bell-ringer of Notre-Dame, owes his life to the austere archdeacon, Claude Frollo, who in turn is bound by a hopeless passion to the gypsy dancer Esmeralda. She, meanwhile, is bewitched by a handsome, empty-headed officer, but by an unthinking act of kindness wins Quasimodo's selfless devotion...

Alban Kraisheimer's new translation offers a fresh approach to this monumental work by France's most celebrated Romantic authors.
