Notre-Dame de Paris - Tome 1 by Victor Hugo

"Notre-Dame de Paris - Tome 1" by Victor Hugo is a French Gothic novel published in 1831. Set in 15th-century Paris, it tells the tragic story of Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, the beautiful Romani dancer Esmeralda, and the tormented Archdeacon Claude Frollo. Their intertwined fates unfold against the backdrop of the iconic cathedral, exploring themes of obsession, unrequited love, and social outcasts. Written during cultural upheaval, Hugo's work championed the preservation of Gothic architecture while creating a timeless masterpiece of Romantic literature.
