What is the best unabridged hardcover edition of Victor Hugos Notre Dame de Paris (aka The Hunchback…)?
Basically, I’m having a hard time finding the unabridged version in-store or online in hardcover. I find mostly children’s adaptations. What I would like is a nice hardcover edition, and I’m willing to use ebay but it’s hard to tell which version I’m looking at. Moreover, some sellers have no idea whether their version is unabridged because there’s so little information available on the internet. It doesn’t have to be new — just complete — and in English. I borrowed an unabridged version at the library. I believe there are two different unabridged versions. I’ve heard the original mentions lot about Esmeralda’s body. Certain scenes were rushed through and were not descriptive as the French version. The newer one had revised translations written by Catherine something (don’t remember her last name) who attempted to fix that.
