    About this audiobook

    The Hunchback of Notre-Dame or Notre-Dame de Paris is a French Gothic novel by Victor Hugo, published in 1831.
    The story is set in Paris in 1482 during the reign of Louis XI. The gypsy Esmeralda (born as Agnes) captures the hearts of many men, including those of Captain Phoebus and Pierre Gringoire, but especially Quasimodo and his guardian Archdeacon Claude Frollo. Frollo is torn between his obsessive lust for Esmeralda and the rules of Notre Dame Cathedral. He orders Quasimodo to kidnap her, but Quasimodo is captured by Phoebus and his guards, who save Esmeralda. Gringoire, who attempted to help Esmeralda but was knocked out by Quasimodo, is about to be hanged by beggars when Esmeralda saves him by agreeing to marry him for four years.

    Victor Hugo

    Victor Hugo (Besançon, 1802-París, 1885) es quizá el escritor más representativo de las letras francesas del siglo xix. De vocación temprana, comenzó su andadura literaria con Odas y poesías diversas (1822), su primera obra poética. Muy pronto fue considerado el jefe de las filas del Romanticismo francés y sus obras encontraron un reconocimiento generalizado debido, fundamentalmente, al virtuosismo de su prosa y a la elección de unos argumentos en los que se entremezclan a la perfección lo misterioso y sobrenatural con la denuncia social más inteligente y certera. Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran Las orientales (1829), Nuestra señora de París (1830), Ruy Blas (1838), Los miserables (1862) o Los trabajadores del mar (1866), además de un buen número de obras teatrales, poemas, ensayos históricos y discursos políticos. Victor Hugo murió el 22 de mayo de 1885 a causa de una pulmonía. Su ataúd permaneció durante varios días bajo el arco del triunfo, donde se dice que fue visitado por cerca de tres millones de personas.
