内容简介
卡西莫多是一个弃婴,在复活节之后的第一个星期日,即卡西莫多日,在圣母院门口被人发现。由于相貌奇丑无比、面目狰狞,当时有许多人围观,却没有人愿意收养他。正巧克洛德·弗洛罗经过,看见婴儿弃置在弃婴木架上,他立即想起了从小与自己相依为命的可怜的弟弟,于是怜悯之心油然而生,遂将婴儿抱走。
弗洛罗决心将婴儿抚养长大。他为婴儿取名卡西莫多,将他收为养子,让他留在圣母院内做敲钟人。命运悲惨的卡西莫多,天生独眼、驼背、跛足,十四岁时又被钟声震破了耳膜,成了聋子。
原本造化为他向外界敞开的唯一门户也被永远关闭了,这一关闭也截断了他唯一欢乐的光明,他的灵魂从此坠入无边的黑夜,他开始变得乖戾、疯狂。周围人的歧视、嘲讽、讥笑使他对一切事物充满了敌意。只有一个人被他排除在所有的恶意和仇恨之外,那就是克罗德·弗洛罗。
自幼便遭社会摈弃的卡西莫多把克罗德看做是自己的恩人,十分地敬重这位副主教,对他的话也是言听计从。但其实,这位道貌岸然的副主教实际上却是蛇蝎心肠,是一个不折不扣的虚伪、奸诈、好色之徒。
“愚人节”那天,流浪的吉卜赛艺人在广场上表演歌舞,其中有个叫埃斯梅拉达的吉卜赛姑娘更是吸引了来往行人的目光,她长得美丽动人,舞姿也非常优美,令大家赞叹不已。这时,她的表演也引起了巴黎圣母院副主教克罗德的注意。
他和其他人一样,也一下子对美丽的埃斯梅拉达着了迷,他内心燃烧着情欲之火,疯狂地爱上了她。一心想得到埃斯梅拉达的克罗德于是命令教堂敲钟人——相貌奇丑无比的卡西莫多去把埃斯梅拉达抢来。一向十分信赖他的卡西莫多听从了他的差遣,一路跟随吉卜赛姑娘准备将她劫持。
流浪诗人格兰瓜尔在街上看到埃斯梅拉达的表演,也被她的美貌所吸引,不知不觉跟着她进了小巷,正巧撞见前来绑架吉卜赛女郎的卡西莫多。格兰瓜尔上前阻止,却被强壮的卡西莫多打昏过去。
卡西莫多抱起女孩准备回去交给副主教,宫廷弓箭队队长菲比斯闻声赶来,将埃斯梅拉达救下,并逮捕了卡西莫多。这一举动触发了少女的爱情,美丽的姑娘被这位外貌俊朗的年轻队长所打动,对他一见钟情,深深爱上了他。
但其实埃斯梅拉达是被他的外表所骗了。菲比斯事实上是个无情无义、只知道到处寻欢作乐、十分轻浮和浅薄的家伙。
被打昏的格兰瓜尔这时慢慢醒来,恍恍惚惚地闯入了光怪陆离的乞丐王国——“奇迹王朝”。那里住满了被社会歧视的无赖汉和乞丐们。胆战心惊的格兰瓜尔被三个壮汉抓到了“王上”面前。长期受“正派市民”刻薄对待的乞丐们坚持要以同样的方式来报复,决定吊死擅自闯入的诗人。
而他唯一可以脱险的机会就是与那里的某个女人结婚,以此成为乞丐王国的一员,倒霉的格兰瓜尔恳求了好几位女孩都没有成功。正在乞丐们准备行刑之际,埃斯梅拉达出现了,出于同情,为了救这个素未谋面的陌生人,善良的吉卜赛女孩自愿接受格兰瓜尔作为自己的丈夫,使他免于一死......

C. 巴黎圣母院故事英文简介
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris)
During the 1482 Festival of Fools in Paris, Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame, is elected the Pope of Fools for being the ugliest person in Paris. He is hoisted on a throne and paraded around Paris by the jeering mob. Pierre Gringoire, a struggling poet and philosopher, tries unsuccessfully to get the crowd to watch his play instead of the parade. Looking for something to eat, Gringoire admires the graceful beauty of La Esmerelda, a gypsy street dancer, and decides to follow her home. After rounding a corner, she is suddenly attacked by Quasimodo and Frollo. Gringoire rushes to help her but is knocked out by Quasimodo as Frollo runs away. The King's Archers, led by Phoebus de Chateaupers arrive just in time and capture the hunchback. Later that night, a group of beggars and thieves are about to hang Gringoire when Esmerelda comes forward and offers to save his life by "marrying" him for four years only.
The next day, Quasimodo is put on trial and sentenced to two hours of torture in the Place de Grève. He suffers both the pain of being stretched and pulled apart as well as being publicly humiliated by the crowd of people, who hate him for his ugliness. He begs for water, but no one answers his pleas until Esmerelda comes forth and brings him something to drink. Nearby, a recluse called Sister Gule, screams at La Esmerelda for being a "gypsy child- thief" and blames her for her daughter's kidnapping fifteen years earlier.
Two months later, Esmeralda is walking in the streets when Fleur-de-Lys de Gondlaurier and her wealthy, aristocratic friends spot her from the house de Gondlaurier. Fleur-de-Lys becomes jealous of Esmeralda's beauty and pretends to not see her, but Fleur's friends call Esmeralda to them out of curiosity. When Esmeralda enters the room, tension immediately appears-- the wealthy young women, who all appeared equally pretty when compared to each other, are plain in comparison to Esmeralda. Knowing that Esmeralda's beauty far surpasses their own, the aristocrats make fun of her clothes instead. Phoebus tries to make Esmeralda feel better, but Fleur grabs Esmeralda's bag and opens it. Pieces of wood fall with letters written on them fall out, and Djali moves the letters to spell out "Phoebus". Fleur, realizing that she now has competition, calls Esmeralda a witch and passes out. Esmeralda runs off, and Phoebus follows her.
Later that month, she meets with Phoebus and declares her love for him. Phoebus takes the opportunity to kiss her as she speaks, and he pretends to love her. He asks Esmeralda what the point of marriage is (he had no intentions of leaving his fiancée; he just wanted to have sex with Esmeralda), which leaves the girl hurt. Phoebus, seeing the girl's reaction, pretends to be sad and says that Esmeralda must no longer love him. Esmeralda then says that she does love him and will do whatever he asks. Phoebus begins to undo Esmeralda's shirt and kisses her again. Frollo, who was watching from behind a door, bursts into the room in a jealous rage, stabs Pheobus, and flees. Esméralda passes out at the sight of Frollo, and when she comes to, she finds herself framed for murder, for a miscommunication makes the jury believe that Phoebus is in fact dead. Esmeralda proclaims her innocence, but she is tortured by a device that twists and crushes one of her feet. Unable to withstand the pain, she states that she is Phoebus' murderer. The court sentences her to death for murder and witchcraft (the court has seen Djali's spelling trick), and she is locked away in a cell. Frollo visits her, and Esmeralda hides in the corner (before this point in the book, the readers know that Frollo's lustful obsession of the girl has caused him to publicly denounce and stalk her). Frollo tells Esmeralda about his inner conflict about her, and he gives her an ultimatum: give herself to him or face death. Esmeralda is repulsed that Frollo would harm her to this extent for his own selfishness. She refuses. Frollo, mad with emotion, leaves the city. The next day, minutes before she is to be hanged, Quasimodo dramatically arrives from Notre Dame, takes Esméralda, and runs back in while crying "sanctuary".
While she stays in the cell at Notre Dame, she slowly becomes friendly to Quasimodo and is able to look past his misshapen exterior. Quasimodo gives her a high-pitched whistle, one of the few things he can still hear, and instructs her to use it whenever she needs help. One day, Esmeralda spots Phoebus walking past the cathedral. She asks Quasimodo to follow the captain, but when Quasimodo finds where Phoebus is, he sees Phoebus leaving his fiancee's house. Quasimodo tells him that Esmeralda is still alive, but Phoebus, believing Esmeralda to be dead, tells him to go away. Quasimodo returns and says he did not find Phoebus. For weeks Esmeralda and Quasimodo live a quiet life, but Frollo unexpectedly comes back and is infuriated to see the pair comfortable with each other. He decides to keep his return a secret from them, and for a few days, Frollo hides in his private chambers thinking about what to do next. One night, he brings his master key to Esmeralda's room. The girl wakes up and is paralyzed with terror until Frollo pins her to the bed with his body and tries to rape her. Unable to fight him off, Esmeralda grabs the whistle and frantically blows it. Before Frollo can make sense of her actions, Quasimodo picks him up, slams him against the wall, and beats him with the intention of killing him. Before Quasimodo can finish, Frollo stumbles into the moonlight pouring in from a far window. Quasimodo sees who Esmeralda's attacker is, and drops him in surprise. Frollo fumes with infuriation, and tells Esmeralda that no one will have her if he cannot, before leaving the cathedral.
Frollo finds Gringoire and falsely feeds him information that the Parliament will order soldiers to forcefully remove Esmeralda from Notre Dame. Gringoire, believing that he will save the girl, formulates a plan with Frollo. One night, Gringoire leads all the Parisian Gypsies to Notre Dame to rescue Esméralda. Mistakenly responding to this assault, Quasimodo retaliates and uses Notre Dame's defenses to fight the gypsies, thinking that these people want to turn in Esmeralda.
When the King's advisers see the battle of Notre Dame, Parliament votes to remove Esmeralda from her sanctuary.
Meanwhile, Quasimodo soon finds that he is outnumbered, but the King's archers come to Notre Dame's aid. They clear the streets of the gypsies while Quasimodo runs to Esmeralda's room. He goes into a panic when she is nowhere to be found.
During the attack, Gringoire and a cloaked stranger had slipped into Notre Dame and found Esmeralda about to sneak out of the cathedral (she had feared that soldiers were trying to take her away when she heard the battle). When Gringoire offered to save the girl, she agreed and went with the two men. The three get into a nearby boat and paddle down the Seine, and she passes out when she hears many people chanting for her death.
When Esmeralda wakes, she finds that Gringoire is gone, and the stranger is Frollo. Frollo once more gives Esmeralda a choice: stay with him, or be handed over to the soldiers. The girl asks to be executed. Angry, Frollo casts her into the arms of Gule, who, in hatred for gypsies, holds Esméralda firmly, while awaiting the guards. Moments before the guards arrive, the two realize that Esméralda is in fact Gule's lost child, but it is now too late for Esméralda to escape. The guards arrive, and Gule pleads for them to show Esmeralda and herself mercy. Gule follows the guards to the scaffold, kicking and biting along the way. A guard pushes her, causing her to hit her head, resulting in her death.
Back at Notre Dame, Quasimodo is still frantically looking for his friend. He goes to the top of the north tower and finds Frollo there. Quasimodo notes Frollo's demented appearance and follows his gaze, where he sees Esméralda in a white dress, hanging from the scaffold. Quasimodo hurls Frollo from Notre Dame in a fit of rage. Looking at La Esmerelda hanging off in the distance and Frollo's wrangled corpse down below, Quasimodo cries out: "There is everything I ever loved!" Quasimodo is never seen again.
