| Summary | "Notre-Dame de Paris - Tome 1" by Victor Hugo is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. Set in the backdrop of medieval Paris, it explores themes of love, fate, and the societal struggles of the time, primarily through the lives of its complex characters, including the hunchbacked bell-ringer Quasimodo and the beautiful Romani woman Esmeralda. The opening of the novel begins with a preface that reflects on the author's encounter with an inscription carved into the ancient walls of Notre-Dame, which sets a tone of loss and nostalgia. He laments the dilapidation of historical architecture and expresses a deep appreciation for the artistry of the Gothic period. As the narrative unfolds, it transports readers to January 6, 1482, in Paris, where the townspeople gather for a festive celebration known as the Feast of Fools. The atmosphere is lively as the crowds flock to the Palais de Justice for a theatrical representation, hinting at the chaotic events that will intertwine the lives of the characters, resulting in both comic and tragic consequences.
