Features: The highly acclaimed novel by the great French Romantic writer Victor Hugo. The work depicts Paris under the rule of Louis XI in 1481. The cunning and hypocritical Bishop of Notre-Dame, Claude Frollo, desires to possess Esmeralda; the honest but ugly bell ringer of Notre-Dame, Quasimodo, sees through the bishop's hypocritical facade. The beautiful, kind, and pure Gypsy girl Esmeralda becomes a victim of a society that cannot distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. Beauty and ugliness, good and evil: an engaging storyline and a heart-wrenching, persistent love reflect the Paris of that time while condemning evil and praising goodness. A movie DVD is included with the book, allowing readers to enjoy the original work while also experiencing visual pleasure.
