At the center of Hugo's classic novel are three extraordinary characters caught in a web of fatal obsession. The grotesque hunchback Quasimodo, bell-ringer of Notre-Dame, owes his life to the austere archdeacon, Claude Frollo, who in turn is bound by a hopeless passion to the gypsy dancer Esmeralda. She, meanwhile, is bewitched by a handsome, empty-headed officer, but by an unthinking act of kindness wins Quasimodo's selfless devotion. Behind the central figures moves a pageant of picturesque characters, including the underworld of beggars and petty criminals whose assault on the cathedral is one of the most spectacular set-pieces of Romantic literature. Alban Kraisheimer's new translation offers a fresh approach to this monumental work by France's most celebrated Romantic authors.

Mówię o "Dzwonniku z Notre Dame", którego widziałam w dzieciństwie, lekko się już zatarł w pamięci, ale podczas lektury...

5.0 Notre-Dame de Paris
Quanto amore, Victor!Parigi respira nelle tue parole. La tua amata Parigi, “... È di quelle città che debbono necessariamente essere capitale: sono come dei bacini dove tutti i versanti geografici, politici, morali, intellettuali di una nazione si scaricano, verso cui tutto un popolo naturalmente gr...

5.0 Katedra Marii Panny w Paryżu
[recenzja również na: swiatyzpolki.blogspot.com] "Jeśli przyszłaś z piekła - pójdę za tobą do piekła." Każdemu obiła się o uszy animacja Disney'a pod tytułem Dzwonnik z Notre Dame. Pewnie niektórzy wiedzą, że bajka powstała na bazie utworu Hugo, którego tytuł w polskim tłumaczeniu to: Katedra Marii ...
