His devotion proves misguided when a plan of Frollo's goes wrong and Quasimodo finds himself abused by a crowd and shown mercy only by the gypsy girl Esmeralda. The hunchback's love and resolve to protect her leads to desperate action and tragedy when she is falsely accused of murder. Emotions run high as society's elite falters and fails, and the lowest misfits of society prove their worth in this timeless epic of love, justice and redemption. The novel's human characters have all but taken on lives of their own, but notice must be made of the author's treatment of Notre Dame as the cathedral virtually becomes a character itself. The book's loving descriptions spurred increased appreciation of Notre Dame as a symbol of Paris and inspired its preservation and renovation. \u003ci\u003eThe Hunchback of Notre Dame\u003c\/i\u003e was first published in 1831 and has since been adapted to stage and screen many times, with more than one of the film versions attaining classic status.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Hunchback of Notre Dame\u003c\/i\u003e is both modern and readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuasimodo, the hunchbacked bell-ringer of Notre Dame cathedral, falls in love with the Gypsy Esmeralda, but there are others who will stop at nothing to make her their own. \u003ci\u003eThe Hunchback of Notre Dame\u003c\/i\u003e is \u003cb\u003eVictor Hugo's\u003c\/b\u003e immortal historical novel of cruel injustice, mad jealousy and brave devotion against all odds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 510\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.13 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 13, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767701963040,"sku":"9781513220819","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/94c926e27d9fd11cd984dcb04d1f421a_051e18cc-be63-46d3-af66-3c93f96a2231.webp?v=1780315711","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-hunchback-of-notre-dame-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
