Fun Fact
💡
Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame was originally published in French in 1831 as Notre-Dame de Paris.
Hugo's intention was to highlight the cathedral itself, not any one character. The novel is set in the 1400s, when Notre-Dame was at its peak. Hugo's descriptions of the cathedral in the novel helped to bring public attention to the church's state of disrepair in the 1800s and is credited with helping to save the iconic cathedral.
