El jorobado de Notre Dame

Synopsis of El jorobado de Notre Dame

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (Nuestra Señora de París) has become a living symbol of Romanticism and one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature. It is a story of impossible love, echoing the myth of “Beauty and the Beast,” where wretched characters cross paths in a gloomy Paris, dominated by the Gothic architecture of the Notre Dame Cathedral. The novel features Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer with a kind heart; the beautiful Esmeralda; the villainous Archdeacon Claude Frollo; and the seductive Captain Phœbus de Châteaupers, all representing different facets of love in an extraordinary narrative.
