"What a beautiful thing Notre-Dame is!"--Gustave Flaubert

Set amid the riot, intrigue, and pageantry of medieval Paris, Victor Hugo's masterful tale of heroism and

adventure has been a perennial favorite since its first publication in 1831. It is the story of Quasimodo,

the deformed bell-ringer of the Notre Dame Cathedral, who falls in love with the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda.

When Esmeralda is condemned as a witch by Claude Frollo, the tormented archdeacon who lusts after

her, Quasimodo attempts to save her; but his intentions are misunderstood. Written with a profound sense

of tragic irony, Hugo's powerful historical romance remains one of the most thrilling stories of all time.

history, and a morality play."--A. S. Byatt

One of the masterpieces of English fiction, Daniel Deronda tells the intertwined stories of two different
characters as they each come to discover of the truth of their natures. Gwendolen Harleth is the high-spirited
beauty of an impoverished upper-class family. In order to restore their fortunes, she unwittingly traps herself
in an oppressive marriage. Humbled, she turns for solace and guidance to the high-minded Daniel Deronda, an
adopted son of an aristocratic Englishman who is searching for his path in life. But when Deronda rescues a poor
Jewish girl from drowning, he discovers a world of Jewish experience previously unknown to himor to the
Victorian novel. Dismayed by the anti-Semitism around him, the tragedy of the lovely Gwendolen begins
to fade for Deronda. When he finally uncovers the long-hidden secret of his own parentage, he must confront his
true identity and destiny.
