More DescriptionThe 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 has been described as a key text in French literature and has been adapted for film over a dozen times, in addition to numerous television and stage adaptations, such as a 1923 silent film with Lon Chaney, a 1939 sound film with Charles Laughton, and a 1996 Disney animated film with Tom Hulce.
The novel sought to preserve the values of French culture in a time period of great change, which resulted in the destruction of many French Gothic structures and threatened to trivialize the vibrancy of 15th-century France. The novel made Notre Dame de Paris a national icon and served as a catalyst for renewed interest in the restoration of Gothic form.
