The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris, lit. 'Our Lady of Paris', originally titled Notre-Dame de Paris. 1482) is a French Gothic novel by Victor Hugo, published in 1831.

The novel sought to preserve values of French culture in a time period of great change, which resulted in the destruction of many French Gothic structures. The novel made Notre-Dame de Paris a national icon and served as a catalyst for renewed interest in the restoration of Gothic form.
Sarò sincero: un paio di capitoli (quelli in cui la trama non avanza) li ho saltati. Ma la trama è davvero bella e superati i primi capitoli fila via velocemente da tanto il racconto prende il lettore.
