1836 Hunchback of Notre Dame 1st
Illustrated ed Paris Victor Hugo French RARE
“Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.”
― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The best-known and oft-considered greatest
French writer is unarguably Victor Hugo. His romance novels and stories have
withstood the test of language and time. One of Hugo’s most popular stories is
‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’; a tale
of a gypsy who catches the hearts of men including a hunchback named Quasimodo.
This work has been transformed into dozens of stage, film, and television
adaptations.
This rare 1836 first illustrated edition was
part of a very small print run. According to Clouzot, this Renduel
single-volume edition was limited to only 2000 copies and includes 12
engraved plates.
