"Unread Image Classics: World Masterpieces" is a set of world masterpieces in graphic novel format. It selects five popular classics, "Notre Dame de Paris", "The Red and the Black", "War and Peace", "Crime and Punishment", and "Don Quixote", and uses highly expressive image language to reproduce the grand scenes and unique characters in literary classics. At the same time, this book brings into play the unique charm of image language, and vividly reproduces the complex and delicate psychology of the characters in the masterpieces with superb image techniques, which not only lowers the reading threshold of the masterpieces, but also shows the dual charm of the text and images of the world masterpieces.

In 15th century Paris, the gypsy girl Esmeralda danced in the square of Notre Dame. Archdeacon Claude Frollo fell in love with Esmeralda, so he ordered the blind, hunchbacked and ugly bell ringer Quasimodo to kidnap her. Unexpectedly, Esmeralda was rescued by the captain of the guard Phoebus, and she fell in love with him. While the two were dating, Phoebus was murdered by a mysterious man, and Esmeralda was accused of being the murderer and sentenced to hanging... When love and life and death are in front of her, how should Esmeralda choose? On one side is the sanctimonious adoptive father, and on the other side is the beautiful girl who has done him a favor. How will Quasimodo choose?
