The novel is considered one of the greatest French Romantic literary works, ranking alongside Victor Hugo’s another masterpiece “Les Misérables.” Its timeless quality is reflected in various adaptations including movies, plays and musicals. Notably, it portrays the chaotic society of its time, the unjust system of punishment, and the marginalized lives of outsiders.The narrative still resonates with contemporary audiences, offering satire on the symbols of power, the Notre Dame Cathedral and the metropolis of Paris.
