This classic is a French Romantic/Gothic novel by Victor Hugo, published in 1831. The story centers on the famous cathedral. Esmeralda captures the hearts of men, including those of Captain Phoebus and Pierre Gringoire, but also Quasimodo and his adoptive father, Archdeacon Claude Frollo. Frollo is torn between his obsessive lust and the rules of the church. He orders Quasimodo to kidnap her, but the hunchback is captured by Phoebus and his guards, who save Esmeralda. The following day, Quasimodo is sentenced to be flogged and turned on the pillory for one hour, followed by another hour's public exposure. He calls for water. Esmeralda, seeing his thirst, approaches the public stocks and offers him a drink of water...©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature Classics Heartfelt

This has become my favorite book. It is really heady and has a sad ending though. I first read it when I was 12, but most people should wait longer.

This is an excellent novel. The audiobook is also excellent. However it is neither a light reading or listening experience. I purchased a Kindle and audiobook and read and listened simultaneously. I am very glad that I did so. The audiobook is very clear and faithful to the text, but there are many names and phrases in both French and Latin. I was very glad that I could read and listen. This is not a criticism, merely an advanced notice. Thank You...
