Cathedral of the Mother of God in Paris

“The Cathedral of the Mother of God of Paris” by Victor Hugo is a great French historical novel, which has become the standard of romanticism in world literature. This is a scale, passionate and incredibly dramatic story of rock love, blind faith, cruelty and mercy, developing on the grounds of the Middle Ages. The main character of the book is the majestic Notre-Dame de Paris, whose dark labyrinths and spirits keep the secrets of human trials. The story carries the reader to Paris in the 15th century. In the center of the story is the beautiful and pure soul of the Gigantic Esmeralda, whose fascinating plate on the square before the cathedral connects together the fate of several completely different men. It is crazy and sadly in love with the evil archdiakon Claude Flolo, who is ready for his passion to betray God and destroy the girl. She is secretly admired by the ugly horbons and calls of the cathedral of Quasimodo, who sees an angel in it. Esmeralda itself is blindly and irresponsibly in love with the brilliant but empty captain of the royal shooters, Feba de Shatoper. When Flollos from jealousy commits a crime and accuses a Gigantic in it, an irresistible machovik of medieval justice is launched. an angry struggle begins, where wickedness is turned into holiness, holiness is the devil pride, and the only refuge for the unhappy becomes the Gothic summits of the ancient cathedral. Hugo has created an immortal plate, striking with contrasts: from the poor and dangerous Wonders Palace to the royal palace, from cartoon humor to the deepest tragicism. The novel raises eternal philosophical questions about the predefinition of fate (the famous "Ananka"), about the ratio of external beauty and internal wickedness. This is an incredibly strong, emotional and eternally alive book that has forever inserted the images of Esmeralda and Quasimodo into the cultural code of mankind. **About what the book in three words:** Passion, Concile, Rock. **Who to read:** For lovers of large-scale historical tables, lovers of rock love stories with deep psychology and everyone who wants to feel the true strength and greatness of French classics.
