Om forfatteren

Victor-Marie Hugo was born in Besançon, France in 1802. A precocious writer, in 1827 he published his epic verse drama Cromwell, a political allegory whose preface might be regarded as a Romanticist manifesto. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame followed in 1831 and throughout the following decade he wrote a number of plays, stories and poetry collections. However, his literary output in the few years after 1843, when his daughter died in a drowning accident, was sparse. He began a new novel as an outlet for his grief, but would only complete it many years later as Les Misérables (1862). He died in 1885.

Esmeralda – 04.06.2009

– Mange har vel kanskje sett Disney-filmen om ringeren i Notre Dame, men det kanskje ikke alle vet er at det faktisk er en bok! Historien i Disney-filmen har alltid rørt meg, og når jeg fant ut at det også var en bok, var det fort jeg kom meg til bibloteket for å låne denne, og jeg ble ikke skuffet! Victor Hugos bok er minst like bra som filmen! Boka handler altså om Quasimodo, som vokser opp i klokketårnet i Notre Dame i Paris. Dommer Frollo er vergen hans, han skammer seg over Quasimodo som er funksjonshemmet, og Quasimodo får ikke lov til å komme ut av klokketårnet. Men en dag våger han seg allikevel ut ... Dette er en rørende og vakker historie, om kjærlighet, mot og indre skjønnhet. En bok alle lesehester bør få med seg.
