      Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. This beautiful edition, featuring an afterword by John Grant, is the perfect way to experience this unforgettable tale. An emotionally stirring story, Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is rightfully considered to be one of the finest novels ever written. Rejected by fifteenth-century Parisian society, the bell-ringer Quasimodo believes he is safe under the watchful eye of his master, the Archdeacon Claude Frollo. But after Quasimodo saves the beautiful Romani girl Esmeralda from the gallows and brings her to sanctuary in the cathedral, he and Frollo's mutual desire for her puts them increasingly at odds, before compassion and cruelty clash with tragic results.

    • Carmen, a Spanish story? Not in the spirit of Mérimée, who ironically sidesteps the Castilian Hispanicism of the romantics and reveals the fringes of the peninsula: in Andalusia, between Seville and Gibraltar, the mad love of a rootless Basque for a Bohemian girl, without homeland or ties. A passion for extremes: José, a brigand, and Carmen, an actress with multiple faces. A passion for freedom, which conceals a deeper longing revealed in this critical edition. The strange fascination the narrator, an overlooked character in Bizet's opera, feels for Carmen: a French scholar captivated by the enchantments of this woman who speaks a fiery and brutal language he cannot understand. Is Carmen the embodiment of literature, magical and fatal? Perhaps it is this other love story, this corrida of words hidden at the heart of the text, that gives the tale of Carmen's life and death its true universality.
