Reflections on Victor Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris" “Notre Dame” was supposedly inspired by a Greek word, anarkia, which Hugo found scratched on a wall in the cathedral. Anarkia means fate, and from this word found in Notre Dame cathedral, combined with fragments of other experiences and people he had met, Hugo created the story of Quasimodo, Esmeralda and the others. He is treated as a figure of fun at the “Fête des fous”, but he reveals a tender heart, intelligence and sensitivity. www.geocities.com /stuartfernie/nddp.htm   (2162 words)

Notre Dame - icons of France Notre Dame de Paris was made very famous by French writer, Victor Hugo, who wrote a book called "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Quasimodo, the Hunchback, was the bell ringer who fell in love with the gipsy princess. In the square in front of Notre Dame is a plaque which is the point from which all distances in France are measured. It is very hard to believe that this beautiful building which represents Paris for so many people was very nearly knocked down in the nineteenth century because it was in such a state of disrepair. www.terrace.qld.edu.au /academic/lote/french/icondpar.htm   (962 words)

hback10.txt What put the "whole population of Paris in commotion," as Jehan de Troyes expresses it, on the sixth of January, was the double solemnity, united from time immemorial, of the Epiphany and the Feast of Fools. The city found there all that is required for a city like Paris; a chapel in which to pray to God; a ~plaidoyer~, or pleading room, in which to hold hearings, and to repel, at need, the King's people; and under the roof, an ~arsenac~ full of artillery. For the bourgeois of Paris were aware that it is not sufficient to pray in every conjuncture, and to plead for the franchises of the city, and they had always in reserve, in the garret of the town hall, a few good rusty arquebuses. www.gutenberg.org /dirs/etext01/hback10.txt   (16182 words)
