In the grotesque bell-ringer Quasimodo, Victor Hugo created one of the most vivid characters in classic fiction. Quasimodo's doomed love for the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda is an example of the traditional love theme of beauty and the beast. Yet, set against the massive background of Notre Dame de Paris and interwoven with the sacred and secular life of medieval France, it takes on a larger perspective. The characters come to life: the poet, Gringoire; the tormented priest, Claude Frollo; the fun-loving captain, Phoebus; and, above all, Quasimodo and Esmeralda themselves. It is a tale peppered with humor but fueled by the anguish that unfolds beneath the bells of the great cathedral of Paris.

I've loved this book ever since I was young and have read it at least a few times before this version. The story is enchanting and Hugo's deep love (and knowledge) of the gothic really drives the narrative. Notre Dame cathedral is my favourite building in the world and so this book has always been very special to me. It's really a love letter to the medieval world and a sad indictment on the neglect and vandalism wrought upon it by later generations. The narration is (for me) just perfect as it captures the richness and elegance of Hugo's high 19th century prose. Just outstanding!
