One of the world's most iconic novels--a timeless story of love in the face of difference and prejudice, known also as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame--in a sparkling new translation commemorating the restoration of Paris's Notre-Dame Cathedral

A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper

In the vaulted Gothic towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral lives Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell ringer. Mocked and shunned for his appearance, he is pitied only by Esmeralda, a beautiful Roma street dancer to whom he becomes completely devoted. Esmeralda, however, has also attracted the attention of the sinister archdeacon Claude Frollo, and when she rejects his lecherous approaches, Frollo hatches a plot to destroy her that only Quasimodo can prevent. Victor Hugo's masterpiece brings to life the medieval Paris he loved, and mourns its passing, in one of the greatest historical romances of the nineteenth century.

Victor Hugo (1802-1885), novelist, poet, playwright, and politician, is widely considered one of greatest French Romantic writers. He is best known for two of today's most popular world classics: Les Misérables (1862) and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1831). Over a writing career spanning sixty years, he wrote dozens of acclaimed works, including The Last Day of a Condemned Man (1829), Les Contemplations (1856), The Toilers of the Sea (1866), and The Man Who Laughs (1869).

Julie Rose (translator) is an acclaimed translator of French who has translated more than sixty books and plays, and many essays, in a career long dedicated to translating some of France's greatest writers, both classic and contemporary: from Jean Racine, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas père, and Émile Zola to modern cultural critics Paul Virilio, Jacques Rancière, Hubert Damisch, Bruno Latour, Chantal Thomas, Simon Leys biographer Philippe Paquet, and many more. She is best known for a celebrated translation of Hugo's Les Misérables (2008). In 2016 she was made a Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government.
