About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
High above the cobbled streets of Paris, gargoyles leer from the magnificent Notre Dame. Within its hallowed halls, a hunchbacked bell-ringer named Quasimodo yearns for a life beyond his lonely tower. His heart is captivated by Esmeralda, a captivating Romani dancer with fiery spirit. But a dark secret burns in the soul of the cathedral's Archdeacon, Frollo. Consumed by forbidden desires, he’ll stop at nothing to possess Esmeralda. Love, obsession, and the fight for justice clash in the shadow of Notre Dame. Will Quasimodo’s hidden strength be enough to save the woman he loves, or will the flames of passion consume them all?
Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was a French poet and novelist. Born in Besançon, Hugo was the son of a general who served in the Napoleonic army. Raised on the move, Hugo was taken with his family from one outpost to the next, eventually setting with his mother in Paris in 1803. In 1823, he published his first novel, launching a career that would earn him a reputation as a leading figure of French Romanticism. His Gothic novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831) was a bestseller throughout Europe, inspiring the French government to restore the legendary cathedral to its former glory. During the reign of King Louis-Philippe, Hugo was elected to the National Assembly of the French Second Republic, where he spoke out against the death penalty and poverty while calling for public education and universal suffrage. Exiled during the rise of Napoleon III, Hugo lived in Guernsey from 1855 to 1870. During this time, he published his literary masterpiece Les Misérables (1862), a historical novel which has been adapted countless times for theater, film, and television. Towards the end of his life, he advocated for republicanism around Europe and across the globe, cementing his reputation as a defender of the people and earning a place at Paris’ Panthéon, where his remains were interred following his death from pneumonia. His final words, written on a note only days before his death, capture the depth of his belief in humanity: “To love is to act.”
