Agradecido por el apoyo y la piedad que recibió de ella, Quasimodo, un hombre sordo y deformado por una joroba en su espalda decide salvarla. Así es como el campanero de la catedral de Notre Dame, con su poderosa fuerza y reconocido por una horrible fealdad que esconde un corazón sensible, le da asilo en la catedral. Sin embargo, la historia no acaba allí, ya que la obsesión y lucha del archidiácono Claude Frollo por Esmeralda, la convierte en una obra pasional que culminará con un trágico final...Publicada en 1831, Nuestra Señora de París es una obra modelo de los temas literarios del Romanticismo y representa la novela más destacada de Victor Hugo.

Guernsey i 1820’erne. Den ensomme fisker Gilliatt er forelsket i Déruchette, en plejedatter af mess Lethierry, som ejer Guernseys eneste dampbåd. Gilliatt beundrer hende på afstand, indtil den dag, da Lethierrys skib går uhjælpeligt på grund på et klipperev. Det er ikke muligt at redde skibet, men måske kan maskinen - en uvurderlig sjældenhed, som ikke uden videre kan genskabes – bringes i land. Déruchette lover at gifte sig med den, der kan hente den uskadt hjem, og dermed redde hendes plejefader fra ruin. Gilliatt ser sin chance, sejler ud til revet og begynder en månedlang, ensom kamp mod naturen for at opnå sit mål.Dette er den grundlæggnende handling i Victor Hugos måske mærkeligste roman. Omkring den enkle handling og det beskedne persongalleri er pakket en mængde skildringer af et Guernsey, der næppe nogensinde har eksisteret udenfor forfatterens fantasi, små historisk-videnskabelige anekdoter, og overvældende beskrivelser af en voldsom og fjendtlig natur. Der er passager, hvor hvert enkelt ord og sætning står som mejslet i granit, og andre, hvor Hugo fortaber sig i ligefrem surrealistiske sidelinjer og associationer - og som samlet hele er det en læseoplevelse, man næppe finder andre steder."Havets arbejdere" udkom i 1866 og ligger i Victor Hugos produktion imellem "De elendige" og "Manden der ler". Den foreliggende udgave er baseret på den første danske oversættelse fra 1866-1868.

Dans ce classique de la litterature francaise, nous suivons les aventures de Quasimodo, un jeune homme malforme qui vit une vie solitaire dans le clocher de Notre-Dame de Paris. Quand son chemin croise celui de la belle gitane Esmeralda, son petit monde est bouleverse. Avec sa description romantique de la cathedrale, Victor Hugo a suscite un nouvel interet pour l'architecture medievale en France, qui conduisit a une vague de travaux de renovations. L'histoire de Quasimodo est surtout connue grace au dessin anime Disney de 1996. -

"Il y a sept ou huit ans, un homme nommé Claude Gueux, pauvre ouvrier, vivait à Paris. Il avait avec lui une fille qui était sa maîtresse, et un enfant de cette fille. Je dis les choses comme elles sont, laissant le lecteur ramasser les moralités à mesure que les faits les sèment sur leur chemin. L’ouvrier était capable, habile, intelligent, fort maltraité par l’éducation, fort bien traité par la nature, ne sachant pas lire et sachant penser. Un hiver, l’ouvrage manqua. Pas de feu, ni de pain dans le galetas. L’homme, la fille et l’enfant eurent froid et faim. L’homme vola. Je ne sais ce qu’il vola, je ne sais où il vola. Ce que je sais, c’est que de ce vol il résulta trois jours de pain et de feu pour la femme et pour l’enfant, et cinq ans de prison pour l‘homme."Ce court roman publié en 1834 est une critique du système pénale français et des conditions de vie des prisonniers au 19e. Il se base en partie sur des faits réels.Victor Hugo (1802-1885) est l'un des écrivains les plus important de la littérature française. Il était une des figures de proue du mouvement romantique. Outres des romans, il écrivit aussi de nombreuses pièces de théâtre ainsi que des poèmes. Hugo est célèbre entre autres pour avoir écrit "Notre-Dame de Paris", "Les Misérables" et "Les Châtiments". Nombre de ses œuvres ont été adaptée tant au théâtre, qu'en films ou encore en comédies musicales.

The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.';So long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of Les Miserables cannot fail to be of use,' says Victor Hugo in the preface of his famous novel. Certainly, Les Miserables is French history recounted through the personal stories of its main characters. The tale offers philosophical insight on the good deeds that can happen even amidst ignorance and poverty. This handsome volume is a beautiful addition to any classic literature library.
