About This Item
1836 1st ed Hunchback of Notre Dame Victor Hugo French Literature Illustrated 3v
"Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket."
― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The best-known and oft-considered greatest French writer is unarguably Victor Hugo. His romance novels and stories have withstood the test of language and time. One of Hugo's most popular stories is 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'; a tale of a gypsy who catches the hearts of men including a hunchback named Quasimodo. This work has been transformed into dozens of stage, film, and television adaptations.
This 1836 three-volume, first illustrated edition includes 12 steel engravings and is considered to be 'more readable' than the one-volume edition of the same year.
