After finishing this book for the first time, I was only able to laud and fall even more in love with classical literature. The description, which is both thorough and extraordinarily effective at placing the reader in the author's vision of the world, is by far the most lovely legacy the 19th and 20th centuries have left on literature. It is also important to note the skill with which a subject that may have started off being straightforward may be elevated to the status of a magnificent work of art.
Because, like the works of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky as well as others, the first hundred pages are the real challenge, it takes a significant amount of decision and the desire to learn the subject to enter the world of Paris, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Quasimodo, as well as of the other characters. These pages are brimming with anticipation, curiosities, and terror due to the obstacles that lie between them.
The work by Victor Hugo is filled with a tale of pain, hope, and love, as well as its offshoots of hatred, faith, and envy. The lives of the characters appear to have crossed at some time, creating ties that resemble a spider's web.
A woman's one and only desire is to have a child, and her religion aids her in realizing this goal. A malformed and rebellious youngster replaces her child who was abducted short than four months after the divine benediction. How will the characters' fates develop? Will the mother locate her offspring?
A remarkable work of writing that deserves to be listed among the "Books that I Must Read in My Life" is this one. It is a real masterpiece.

Another classic that I enjoy reading. I found this book in the library and with the synopsis, I picked it up. There are so many moral story on the book. Poverty, social class and of course love. Mr Hugo weaving a story wonderfully.

3,5.
He tenido mis más y mis menos con el libro. Definitivamente, no es mi concepto de clásico entretenido y asequible para todo el mundo, y de hecho tiene partes bastante áridas. Eso sí, la trama, cuando avanza, es muy interesante y original dentro de lo que es el romanticismo.
La novela es MUY del romanticismo, del más puro. Yo esperaba encontrarme algo más en la línea romántica oscura de la novela gótica y derivados, pero para nada. A lo mejor tiene un punto ligeramente más oscuro que otras obras románticas típicas, pero está a años luz de la oscuridad de la novela gótica anglosajona.
Y como buena obra del romanticismo, tiene sus tópicos que ya hemos visto repetidos hasta la sociedad y sus soliloquios eternos llenos de exclamaciones redundantes.
En cualquier caso, como obra del romanticismo está bastante bien, aunque, a nivel personal, me parece una corriente literaria un poco cansina si escribes algo tan largo como "Notre-Dame de París". Me parece que habría funcionado mejor como novela más corta o incluso obra de teatro.

Thoroughly enjoyable book. Obviously a bit silly at times and a bit outdated, but overall a pretty good tale. And I enjoyed the discussion of Paris' architecture in the 15th century because I love Gothic architecture. The theme according to Hugo is "the book shall replace the edifice" as far as I can tell but I'm pretty sure the real theme is "men ain't shit" lol. Unless they're Quasimodo and then they're tragic instead.
