Classics of Literature, French Literature, Novels

Translated by Huugo Jalkanen

In 1482 Paris, the bells of Notre-Dame ring out over a city poised between medieval darkness and the dawning modern age. At the center of this volcanic novel stands Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer whose loneliness and devotion would become one of literature's most heartbreaking creations. When the beautiful Romani dancer Esmeralda offers him water during a public torture, he falls impossibly in love - a love that will drive the novel toward its catastrophic conclusion. Victor Hugo constructs an entire medieval metropolis as his stage, and the cathedral itself becomes a character: ancient, Gothic, watching with its carved gargoyles as human dramas of desire, jealousy, and sacrifice unfold in its shadow. This is a novel about what society does to those it deems monstrous, and what monsters do with the love they're finally given.

“Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.””

— Victor Hugo

“Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.””

— Victor Hugo

“I wanted to see you again, touch you, know who you were, see if I would find you identical with the ideal image of you which had remained with me and perhaps shatter my dream with the aid of reality.-Claude Frollo ””

— Victor Hugo

“When you get an idea into your head you find it in everything.””

“Do you know what friendship is?' he asked.'Yes,' replied the gypsy; 'it is to be brother and sister; two souls which touch without mingling, two fingers on one hand.''And love?' pursued Gringoire.'Oh! love!' said she, and her voice trembled, and her eye beamed. 'That is to be two and to be but one. A man and a woman mingled into one angel. It is heaven.””

— Victor Hugo

“A one-eyed man is much more incomplete than a blind man, for he knows what it is that's lacking.””

— Victor Hugo

“mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain.””
