Features: In this book, the beautiful and kind-hearted Gypsy girl Esmeralda dances in the square in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral, attracts the attention of Claude Frollo, the Archdeacon of Notre-Dame, and stirs up his evil, deformed lust. He then abducts Esmeralda with his ugly bell-ringer, Quasimodo. Unbeknownst to him, the King's Guard Phoebus rescues Esmeralda on the way. Esmeralda is thus captivated by his handsome appearance and falls deeply in love with him. In reality, Phoebus de Chateaupers is a heartless, pleasure-seeking, frivolous, and shallow man. Meanwhile, the poor Quasimodo becomes a scapegoat and a victim, tied to the Pillar of Shame, enduring under the scorching sun. When he is desperately thirsty and shouts for water, he is mocked by the crowd. However, the kind-hearted Esmeralda, without holding a grudge, gives him water. From then on, Quasimodo is moved.
