Victor Hugo

Cette oeuvre critique de Victor Hugo, po te, crivain, politique et intellectuel engag , est un expos de ses pens es sur la religion et l'humanit . Bien que croyant en Dieu, il a rejet toute sa vie tout dogmatisme religieux pour se consacrer une foi humble, universelle et fraternelle. Signe de son anticl ricalisme croissant, Hugo r dige ce texte en r action au pape Pie IX et au concile Vatican I pr nant l'infaillibilit du souverain pontife. En cho au plaidoyer d'Hugo, cette dition originale comporte la r ponse faite par Am lia de Bompar, une riche propri taire bordelaise se faisant l'avocate de la tradition catholique. L'autrice y d fend la l gitimit du pape dans son autorit temporelle et spirituelle. Ce diptyque litt raire, riche en confrontations d'id es, permet de mieux appr hender les tensions intellectuelles, religieuses et politiques de la fin du XIXe si cle, tensions qui sont toujours vives et pr sentes dans notre monde contemporain.

In a time when Paris was shadowed by injustice, Esmeralda, a kind-hearted gypsy, enters the city to help her family. On Fool's Day, she captures the hearts of poet Gringoire and hunchback bell-ringer Quasimodo. Frollo, the King's cruel advisor, arrests Esmeralda for being a gypsy. With help from the Outcasts and a new printing press, Gringoire exposes Frollo's plot. Quasimodo protects Esmeralda in Notre Dame as they await rescue. A carrier pigeon guides Gringoire back to her, and the truth reaches the King. Frollo is arrested, peace returns, and Paris becomes the City of Light once again. A word-for-word audio read-along is included with this book. See the copyright page for download instructions.

Georges Bess masterfully adapts Victor Hugo’s classic novel of unrequited love set in the midst of medieval Paris in 1482 as it takes its turns toward the modern era. Quasimodo, a deformed bellringer in Notre Dame cathedral, is hopelessly in love with the gypsy girl Esmeralda who has falsely been condemned as a witch by the archdeacon. In hopes of saving her from a fiery fate, he hides her in the cathedrals tower, but safety isn’t as assured as simply staying out of sight. The Notre-Dame Cathedral casts a shadow over the entire tale, both literally and figuratively. After the success of his previous adaptations of both Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Georges Bess returns with an adaptation of one of the most emblematic works of French literature, delivering a magnificent historical epic and romantic fresco paying homage to the richness of the original novel. Bess seizes the myth with his imposing graphic mastery and a black & white palette as bewitching as Esmeralda's gaze. It’s a tour de force of great spectacle, intense and sumptuous, populated by legendary characters.
