Features: The novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is one of the sensational romantic novels by the French literary giant Victor Hugo. Set against the backdrop of 15th-century France under the rule of Louis XI, the story tells the tragic persecution of an innocent Bohemian girl, exposing the cunning and depravity of the clergy, the barbarity and cruelty of the Inquisition, the debauchery and shamelessness of the nobility, and the tyrannical and brutal rule of the king. The work vividly reflects the anti-feudal and anti-clerical consciousness, as well as the praise for the common people.
