Esmeralda

The play presents a reimagined version of Esméralda, diverging from her depiction in "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame." Notably, the character Phoebus is portrayed as noble and righteous, contrasting sharply with his womanizing nature in the original novel. Victor Hugo, a key figure in the Romantic movement, is celebrated for his literary contributions, including "Les Misérables" and "Notre-Dame de Paris." This edition includes a new biography of Hugo, making it a valuable addition for readers interested in classic literature and the author's life.
