Hated by the people of Paris for his deformity, bell ringer Quasimodo lives in Notre Dame Cathedral by the good graces of his guardian, Archdeacon Claude Frollo.

Driven to win her over at any cost, Frollo turns from his faith to practice alchemy. When Quasimodo is tortured and publicly humiliated for his part in Frollo&rsquo;s scheme, Esmerelda alone shows him pity. And when she is wrongly accused of a crime, only Quasimodo can provide the sanctuary she needs. Originally published under the title Notre-Dame de Paris, Victor Hugo&rsquo;s tragic story of love and persecution has been adapted into numerous films, stage plays, and other mediums.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

<div>The novel that inspired the beloved Broadway musical: Jean Valjean&rsquo;s immortal adventure among the dispossessed of nineteenth-century Paris. Widely considered Victor Hugo&rsquo;s masterpiece, Les Mis&eacute;rables is both an epic story and a penetrating social criticism of nineteenth-century France. In this tale of crime, punishment, love, and the pursuit of justice, we meet some of the most unforgettable characters in literature, including Jean Valjean, the heroic peasant arrested for stealing a loaf of bread; Cossette, the abused daughter of a prostitute; and Inspector Javert, the policeman who relentlessly hounds Valjean at every turn. With encyclopedic sweep, Hugo&rsquo;s novel investigates topics ranging from the construction of Parisian sewers to the Battle of Waterloo. First published in 1862, Les Mis&eacute;rables has inspired numerous film adaptions as well as the long-running stage musical by Claude-Michel Sch&ouml;nberg. It is, in the words of Upton Sinclair, &ldquo;one of the half-dozen greatest novels in the world.&rdquo; This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices. </div>
