A first-person diary of a prisoner’s final day before being executed for an unspecified crime, Victor Hugo’s poignant tale vividly conveys the mental anguish of a man confronted with the intransigent mechanism of justice, as his mind seeks refuge in recollections from his past and philosophical musings on his inevitable fate. As relevant today as when it was first published in 1829, The Last Day of a Condemned Man is an eloquent plea for compassion and a masterpiece of realist fiction. This edition includes the Preface to the 1832 edition of the book, a manifest of Hugo’s personal opinions, ‘A Comedy about a Tragedy’ and ‘Claude Gueux’, an early example of “true crime” fiction.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris, lit. 'Our Lady of Paris', originally titled Notre-Dame de Paris) is a French Gothic novel by Victor Hugo. Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame was written at a time when the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was falling into disrepair. This epic novel helped spark a preservationist movement that led to the cathedral being restored to its full glory. Set in 1482, The story tells of how four men-the hunchbacked bell-ringer, Quasimodo; the archdeacon of Notre Dame, Claude Frollo; the dashing soldier Phoebus de Chateaupers; and the poet Pierre Gringoire-vie for the love of Esmeralda, a young Romani woman. As the story unfolds, readers come to realize that the focus of the story is not only on the human characters but on the grand cathedral itself. The novel sought to preserve values of French culture in a time period of great change, which resulted in the destruction of many French Gothic structures and threatened to trivialise the vibrancy of 15th century France. The novel made Notre-Dame de Paris a national icon and served as a catalyst for renewed interest in the restoration of Gothic form.

Förväxlade identiteter och bortrövade spädbarn ligger till grund för hätska konflikter i Ringaren i Notre-Dame - Victor Hugos myllrande kärleksroman med gestalter som blivit klassiska: den vackra Esmeralda, som väcker kärlek och begär överallt, den groteskt missbildade Quasimodo, hittebarnet som vuxit upp i Notre-Dame i Paris och blivit kyrkans plikttrogna men föraktade ringare. Omkring dem pågår ett maktspel, som lika mycket gäller 1400-talets religiösa och moraliska föreställningsvärld som obesvarad kärlek och hämndlystnad. När Esmeralda döms till döden för häxeri och mord kommer Quasimodo - den oväntade och ovälkomne hjälten - till hennes undsättning. I svensk översättning av Oscar Nachman. VICTOR HUGO [1802-1885] var en fransk författare och medlem av Franska akademien. Utöver Ringaren i Notre-Dame [1831] skrev han en mängd romaner i spänningsfältet mellan romantik och realism, varav Samhällets olycksbarn [1862] är den mesta kända.
