Sophie Furse, Illustrated by Penko Gelev and Sotir Gelev; from the novel by Herman Melville - All books by this author Graphic Classics - All books in this series Retold here is the tragic story of Quasimodo, the hunchback bell tender of Paris’s Notre Dame cathedral, and his struggle to save Esmerelda, a girl falsely accused of a crime she did not commit. In each of Barron’s Graphic Classics, an English literary classic is transformed into a dramatic graphic novel with superb, atmospheric color illustrations and a finely-paced narrative. The tale—chosen from among important novels in the literary canon— will keep young readers fascinated from first page to last.Graphic Classics make fine introductions for young readers to the riches of English literature. Books are available in both paperback and hardcover editions. In addition to the stories, each title features a brief biography and time line of its author, a list of his important works, a glossary, and an index. As such, these books are suitable for classroom use on junior and senior high school levels. (Ages 8 and older) From the reviews: “Quick paced and dramatic… a highly appealing visual format. The use of color sets the tone… while the detailed illustrations bring the stories to life, capturing action and emotion and making these classics accessible and attractive. The exciting artwork and particularly expressive faces of Esmeralda, and Quasimodo draw readers into their stories. These titles would be useful for introducing students to Hugo or as an alternative for reluctant/struggling readers” —School Library Journal, May 1, 2007 (0764159798) Hardcover / 48 Pages / 6 3/4 x 10 / 2007 | ||
