Summary

Quasimodo is abandoned as a baby on the steps of Notre Dame. He becomes a bell-ringer there, but in order to hide his grotesque features he spends his life virtually imprisoned in a tower. While there, he becomes obsessed by Esmerelda, a gipsy who dances in the square below. A tragic and moving tale.

The story everybody knows

I started listening to the Amazon Classics edition of The Hunchback of Notre Dame which was extremely well performed but incredibly detailed and lengthy. I just wanted to catch up on the core story that everybody is familiar with. In the end, I gave up and listened to this audiobook which, as you might suspect, is very well performed by Andrew Sachs. In just over two hours (against 22) the story is told. I have to confess that it had a lot less "story" than I had expected. But I enjoyed it nonetheless.
