Romanin orijinal adi "Notre-Dame de Paris" olmasina karsin, romanin bas kahramaninin bir kambur olmasi nedeniyle, roman "Notre-Dame'in Kamburu" olarak bilinmektedir. Hugo, bu romanda yoksullugun, insanlarin duygu ve dusuncelerini koreltmedigini gostermistir. "Notre-Dame'in Kamburu", Hugo'nun Fransiz yazarlari arasinda onemli bir yere sahip oldugunu kanitlamistir. Hemen hemen butun dillere aktarilmis; filme uyarlanmistir. (Tanitim Bulteninden)
After Napoleon III seized power in 1851, French writer Victor Marie Hugo went into exile and in 1870 returned to France; his novels include The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1831) and Les Misérables (1862).
This poet, playwright, novelist, dramatist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, and perhaps the most influential, important exponent of the Romantic movement in France, campaigned for human rights. People in France regard him as one of greatest poets of that country and know him better abroad.
