Set in medieval Paris, Victor Hugo’s powerful historical romance The Hunchback of Notre-Dame has resonated with succeeding generations ever since its publication in 1837. It tells the story of the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda, condemned as a witch by the tormented archdeacon Claude Frollo, who lusts after her. Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, having fallen in love with the kindhearted Esmeralda, tries to save her by hiding her in the cathedral’s tower. When a crowd of Parisian peasants, misunderstanding Quasimodo’s motives, attacks the church in an attempt to liberate her, the story ends in tragedy.

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...
[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 ...
