Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo
5.0
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.
