A Horror Classic Illustrated
by Georges Bess
In the wake of his award-winning adaptations of DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN, Georges Bess turns is sights on another horror classic: THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. At 200 pages, the newest book in the series adapts Victor Hugo’s gothic romance about the disfigured bell ringer Quasimodo and his unrequited feelings for a beautiful dancer he falls in love with from a distance. Set in Paris during the turbulent 15th Century, this dark tragedy captures the extreme lengths passion can drive the human heart.
With page after page of stunning pen-and-ink drawings, readers will find themselves lost in each of these classic scenarios, content to soak in every detail before entering the next page. Reproducing Georges’s unprocessed illustration boards on uncoated woodfree paper, these artist-edition books will capture the tactile details of his work as if holding the originals.
