The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Victor Hugo, George Guidall
Audio Cassette
(Recorded Books, LLC, Aug. 16, 1991)
16 cassettes. Written in 1831 before Hugo was forced to flee from Louis Napoleon's France. In this novel-perhaps his most popular-Hugo paints a vivid portrait of medieval Paris. Quasimodo, the one-eyed, hunchbacked refugee; Esmeralda, the dancing gypsy girl, threatened by the gallows; and a world where chaos is in charge-Hugo captures them all in this timeless, almost Gothic, piece of literature.
