Victor Hugo’s moving story of Quasimodo, the
monstrously disfigured bell-ringer in Paris’ great cathedral, who risks his
life to save the bewitching Gypsy Esmeralda, stands as one of literature’s
greatest masterpieces. “Hugo’s
characters,” wrote Andre’ Maurois, “are unforgettable because they possess the
elemental grandeur of myths and epics.”
This immortal story of compassion and salvation is truly one of the 100
greatest books ever written. This
stunning mint, never fully opened edition deserves a place of distinction in
your library of fine classic literature.
