Description:

This is the 2019 Turkish full-text limited edition of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (Notre Dame’in Kamburu), published by Can Yayınları in a print run of 2000 copies. Written by Victor Hugo and first published in 1831, the novel is one of the defining masterpieces of French Romantic literature and a landmark in world literature.

Set in 15th-century Paris, the story centers on Quasimodo, the bell-ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, whose life is marked by isolation due to his physical appearance. His fate becomes intertwined with Esmeralda, a kind-hearted young dancer, whose presence sets off a chain of tragic events involving love, obsession, jealousy, and social injustice. Archdeacon Claude Frollo’s inner conflict and destructive desire further intensify the psychological and moral complexity of the narrative.

Victor Hugo is regarded as one of the greatest literary figures of France, known for combining powerful storytelling with strong social critique and deep humanism. Beyond the central tragedy, the novel also serves as a reflection on medieval society and a passionate defense of architectural heritage, particularly the cultural significance of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

This Can Yayınları edition is a full-text translation presented as a limited print run of 2000 copies, making it particularly appealing for collectors. Unlike abridged youth editions, this volume preserves the complete original narrative, offering the full literary depth and complexity of Hugo’s work in Turkish translation.
