A cathedral, a city, and conflicting desires

Set in fifteenth-century Paris, Victor Hugo’s novel brings Quasimodo, the cathedral’s bell-ringer, into a conflict shaped by his bond with Archdeacon Claude Frollo and his connection to Esmeralda, a Romani girl he rescues. Notre-Dame is more than a backdrop: it becomes the place where sanctuary, authority, and desire converge. The description points to a story concerned with the contrast between compassion and cruelty, and with the tragic consequences of the characters’ competing attachments. This edition is presented as part of Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series featuring Gothic and horror classics.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classic fiction set in historical Paris.
  • Those drawn to Gothic literature and stories centered on outsiders.
  • Readers exploring themes of sanctuary, desire, compassion, and cruelty.

Book overview

An emotionally stirring story, Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is rightfully considered to be one of the finest novels ever written.

Rejected by fifteenth-century Parisian society, the hideously deformed bell-ringer Quasimodo believes he is safe under the watchful eye of his master, the Archdeacon Claude Frollo. But after Quasimodo saves the beautiful Romani girl Esmeralda from the gallows and brings her to sanctuary in the cathedral, his and Frollo's mutual desire for her put them increasingly at odds, before compassion and cruelty clash with tragic results.

Dracula, Frankenstein and The Shadow in The Corner and Other Classic Ghost Stories are also available in this series of gorgeous paperbacks from Macmillan Collector's Library which celebrates the very best Gothic and horror literature, teeming with monsters, misfits and ghosts.
