| Summary | "Notre-Dame de Paris" by Victor Hugo is a novel written in the early 19th century. Set against the backdrop of medieval Paris, the narrative revolves around the iconic cathedral and explores the lives of its inhabitants, particularly focusing on characters such as Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer, and Esmeralda, a beautiful Romani woman. Additionally, themes of love, fate, and the struggle against societal norms underpin the story. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the atmosphere of Paris on January 6, 1482, a day marked by the celebration of the Feast of Fools and the Day of Kings. The grand hall of the Palais de Justice is filled with a bustling crowd eager to witness a theatrical performance. As the excitement builds, the narrative vividly describes the sights and sounds, highlighting the chaotic energy of the festival. We meet several characters who are pivotal to the unfolding plot, including Pierre Gringoire, a poet and philosopher, and a mysterious mendiant, setting the stage for a rich tapestry of interconnected lives and stories within the shadow of the celebrated Notre-Dame Cathedral.
