The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame (Modern Library Mm)

Plot

Written in 1831 before Hugo was forced to flee from Louis Napoleon's France. In this novel, Hugo paints a vivid portrait of medieval Paris. Quasimodo, the one-eyed, hunchbacked refugee; Esmeralda, the dancing gypsy girl, threatened by the gallows; and a world where chaos is in charge--Hugo captures them all in this timeless, almost Gothic, piece of literature. This newly revised edition of Hugo's great historical romance, renowned for its tragic story as well as for its masterful detailing of medieval Parisian life, includes a new Introduction by acclaimed author McCracken and comprehensive end notes.
