Notre-Dame de Paris Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition

One of the world''s most iconic novels--a timeless story of love in the face of difference and prejudice, known also as A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper In the vaulted Gothic towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral lives Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell ringer. Mocked and shunned for his appearance, he is pitied only by Esmeralda, a beautiful Roma street dancer to whom he becomes completely devoted. Esmeralda, however, has also attracted the attention of the sinister archdeacon Claude Frollo, and when she rejects his lecherous approaches, Frollo hatches a plot to destroy her that only Quasimodo can prevent.
