EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we witness a powerful moment of love and protection. Quasimodo, the iconic hunchbacked protagonist from Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, takes center stage as he pours boiling oil onto an army of villains attempting to rescue Esmeralda. The intensity of the scene is palpable as Quasimodo stands tall atop the cathedral, defending his beloved with unwavering determination. The illustration by Francois Nicolas Chifflart beautifully captures the essence of Victor Hugo's timeless tale. As one of France's greatest writers, Hugo skillfully crafted characters that continue to resonate with audiences today. Quasimodo symbolizes strength in adversity and unconditional love, while Esmeralda represents innocence and beauty amidst a world filled with darkness. This image serves as a reminder of the power literature holds in transporting us to different times and places. It allows us to delve into complex emotions and explore themes such as heroism, sacrifice, and redemption.
