The Hunchback of Notre-Dame《巴黎圣母院》又称《钟楼怪人》，是雨果创作的大型浪漫主义小说。它以一四八二年路易十一治下的法国为背景，以离奇对比的手法书写了一个发生在15世纪法国的故事：巴黎圣母院的副主教克洛德道貌岸然，阴狠狡诈，先爱后恨迫害吉普赛女郎爱斯梅拉达；面目丑陋担心地善良的敲钟人卡西莫多为救女郎舍身。《巴黎圣母院》以强烈的“美丑对比”构成了一幅幅绚丽奇异的画卷，形城了尖锐的甚至难以置信的善与恶、美与丑的对比。

The setting of this extraordinary historical novel is medieval Paris: a city of vividly intermingled beautyand ugliness, surging with violent life under the two towers of its greatest structure and supreme symbol, the cathedral of Notre-Dame. Against this background, Victor Hugo unfolds the haunting drama ofQuasimodo, the hunchback; Esmeralda, the Gypsy dancer; and Claude Frollo, the priest tortured by the specter of hisowndamnation. Shaped by a profound sense of tragic irony, it is a work that givesfullplay to the author’s brilliant imagination andhis remarkable powers of de*ion.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame(original French title,Notre-Dame de Paris) is set in 1482 in Paris, in and around the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. It tells the story of a poor Gypsy girl (La Esmeralda) and a misshapen bell-ringer (Quasimodo), one of the most colorful characters in literature, who falls in love with her. They are both victimized by a corrupt priest (Claude Frollo) and begin an adventure filled with great peril and great heroism. The book was enormously popular in France and became so in translations in other countries. Its popularity has continued to this day.

It is three hundred forty-eight years, six months, and nineteen days ago today that the citizens of Paris were awakened by the pealing of all the bells in the triple precincts of the City, the University, and the Town.
Yet the sixth of January, 1482, is not a day preserved in history. There was nothing remarkable about the event which, so early in the morning, thus set in motion the bells and the good people of Paris. It was neither a Picardian nor a Burgundian assault, nor a reliquary carried in procession, nor a students’revolt, nor an entry of"our most honored lord, Monsieur the King,"nor even a good hanging of thieves, male or female, in front of the Palace of Justice. Neither was it the sudden arrival, so frequent in the fifteenth century, of some bedizened and befeathered ambassador. Scarcely two days had elapsed since the last cavalcade of this sort, that of the Flemish envoys commissioned to conclude the marriage treaty between the dauphin and Margaret of Flanders, had entered Paris, to the greatannoyance of the Cardinal of Bourbon, who, in order to pleasethe king,had been obliged to giveagraciousreception to those rude Flemish burgomasters,and toentertainthem, at hisHotel de Bourbon, with "a very fine morality play, comedyand farce,"while a driving rain drenched the magnificenttapestry at his door.
But on the sixth of January, what had bestirred the whole population of Paris, as Jean de Troyes phrases it, was the joint observance, as from time immemorial, of the Day of the Kings and the feast ofFools.
On that day there would be bonfires in the Place de Grève, a maypole would be planted at the chapel of Braque, and a mystery play would be performed at the Palace of Justice. These events had been proclaimed the day before by trumpets blown at all street corners by the provost’s men, dressed in fine actons of purple camlet, with large white crosses on the breast.
Crowds of people accordingly wended their way in the morning from all parts of the town, leaving their houses and shops closed, toward one of the three above-mentioned places. Each had made his choice. It must be noted, however, inappreciation of the usual good sense of the lower class of Paris that most of these people directed their steps toward the bonfire, which was perfectly seasonable, or toward the mystery play, which was to be performed in the Great Hall of the Palace, well-covered and sheltered, and that all wisely agreed to let the poor ill-dressed maypole shiver all alone, under the January sky, in the cemetery ofthe chapel of Braque.
