Donner votre avis

Notre Dame de Paris, est dans doute l'un des romans les plus mondialement connus de Victor Hugo, grâce à ses nombreuses adaptations tant au cinéma qu'en comédie musicale.
L'histoire prend pour décors la Cathédrale de Notre Dame, dans un Paris en plein essor, dans lequel tout un chacun se cherche une place. Parmi, cette manne de protagonistes, nous retrouvons les destins croisés de Quasimodo, Esméralda, Gringoire, Frollo et bien d'autres qui tenterons de survivre au-delà de leurs classes sociales.
Plus qu'une peinture sociale, ce livre est avant tout une critique forte, sur la société humaine, ses hypocrisies et ses mensonges, permettant à tout un chacun de dicter ses vérités et de les imposer aux autres.

Victor Hugo

Victor-Marie Hugo, vicomte Hugo (French: [viktɔʁ maʁi yɡo] ; 26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a French Romantic author, poet, essayist, playwright, journalist, human rights activist and politician. His most famous works are the novels The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831) and Les Misérables (1862). In France, Hugo is renowned for his poetry collections, such as Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles (The Legend of the Ages). Hugo was at the forefront of the Romantic literary movement with his play Cromwell and drama Hernani. His works have inspired music, both during his lifetime and after his death, including the opera Rigoletto and the musicals Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris. He produced more than 4,000 drawings in his lifetime, and campaigned for social causes such as the abolition of capital punishment and slavery. Although he was a committed royalist when young, Hugo's views changed as the decades passed, and he became a passionate supporter of republicanism, serving in politics as both deputy and senator. His work touched upon most of the political and social issues and the artistic trends of his time. His opposition to absolutism, and his literary stature, established him as a national hero. Hugo died on 22 May 1885, aged 83. He was given a state funeral in the Panthéon of Paris, which was attended by over two million people, the largest in French history.
