Set in 1482, Victor Hugo's powerful novel of imagination, caprice, and fantasy is a meditation on love, fate, architecture, and politics, as well as a compelling recreation of the medieval world at the dawn of the modern age. In a brilliant reworking of the tale of Beauty and the Beast, Hugo creates a host of unforgettable characters, amongst them Quasimodo, the hunchback of the title, hopelessly in love with the gypsy girl Esmeralda; satanic priest Claude Frollo; Clopin Trouillefou, king of the beggars; and Louis XI.

Alla sua pubblicazione nel 1831, "Notre Dame de Paris", la prima opera di Victor Hugo, ebbe un successo immenso. Tutto il romanzo è molto più del semplice racconto di un intreccio di amori impossibili, come quello di Quasimodo - meglio conosciuto come il Gobbo di Notre Dame - per l'incantevole zingara Esmeralda, o quello tetro, lascivo e peccaminoso dell'arcidiacono Claude Frollo.

Un classico senza tempo. Un classico popolare. La grandiosa rivisitazione di una Parigi tardomedioevale in cui si mescolano lo spettrale profilo della basilica di Notre-Dame, abitata dal gobbo Quasimodo, e la notturna Corte dei Miracoli, dove risplende la bellezza di Esmeralda. Come in un grande melodramma, forze del bene e forze del male si scontrano facendo fulcro intorno all'attrazione, alla sensualità, all'innocenza della bella zingara.

Considered to be French novelist Victor Hugo's masterpiece, Les Miserables, which was published in 1862, is a sprawling historical and philosophical epic that covers from 1815 through the Paris Uprising in 1832.

Victor Hugo nous fait entrer dans la tête d'un condamné à mort qui attend son exécution. On ignore qui il est, quel crime il a commis. Car l'auteur ne veut pas débattre mais montrer l'horreur et l'absurdité de la situation. Son texte a une telle puissance de suggestion que l'auditeur, s'identifiant au narrateur, partage avec lui l'angoisse et les vaines espérances. Réquisitoire le plus véhément jamais prononcé contre la peine de mort, ce roman est aussi une admirable leçon d'écriture et d'humanité.
