Monumental! 5

An eternal work of the same name as the cathedral!
Criticizing "Notre Dame de Paris" is a challenge, as this novel to perfection.
Far from belief, Quasimodo and Esmeralda are not the main characters.
The spotlight is on Paris. The Paris of the Middle Ages, violence, the rebellious people of the Greve, popular beliefs.
Paris sparkles, architecture then the footprint of men in society.
Gutenberg will quickly reshuffle the cards ...
Hugo scratch the church, the cowardly bourgeoisie, Louis XI capricious, the good people at the herd instinct.
A beautiful story bathed in the setting of the Great Story that contemplates a work of art eternal; Our Lady.
The literary genius of the author takes the reader by the hand and accompanies him to a full understanding of the society of the 15th century.

A miracle of 600 pages.
Do not read "Notre Dame de Paris"; is to miss his life !!!
