The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

Set in 1482, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (Notre-Dame de Paris) is a compelling story of love and betrayal, brutal deeds and one of the most famous acts of revenge in world literature.

Quasimodo, the hunchback of the title, is one of fiction’s most extreme characters – beneath his monstrous disfigurement, his love for the beautiful Emeralda reveals a heart full of intense emotion.

The novel is set in the Gothic splendour of the great cathedral of Notre-Dame and had a profound influence on the Romantic Movement.
