Set in medieval Paris, the novel depicts the class and religious conflicts of that era.
The novel explores the complexity of human nature and the dark side of society. Through Quasimodo's pursuit of beauty and society's prejudice against him, it delves into the conflict between appearance and inner self, as well as reflections on human nature.
I recommend The Hunchback of Notre-Dame because it is not only a gripping story but also contains profound insights into human nature and societal observations. Readers can experience Victor Hugo's concern for social realities and his contemplation of human destiny through this book. It's an inspiring and impactful classic that leaves a lasting impression.

Brief introduction to The Picture of Dorian Gray and the writer Oscar Wilde:
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a novel by Oscar Wilde, first published in 1890. The story follows a young and handsome man named Dorian Gray, who becomes infatuated [ n f t e t d]（迷恋的） with his own portrait [ p tr t]（肖像）, painted by the artist Basil Hallward. Dorian wishes that he could remain young and beautiful forever while his portrait ages instead.
As Dorian indulges [ n d ld z]（沉溺） in a life of excess [ k ses]（过度） and moral corruption [k r p n]（腐败）, his outward appearance remains unchanged, but the portrait becomes increasingly ugly, reflecting the degradation [ deɡr de n]（堕落） of his soul. The novel explores themes of vanity [ v n ti]（虚荣）, moral decay [d ke ]（衰退）, and the nature of beauty, serving as a critique [kr ti k]（批评） of the superficial [ su p f l]（肤浅的） values of society.
Oscar Wilde, an Irish writer and playwright [ ple ra t]（剧作家）, is renowned [r na nd]（著名的） for his wit [w t]（机智）, dazzling [ d zl ]（耀眼的） style, and sharp social commentary. He was a prominent [ pr m n nt]（杰出的） figure in the Aesthetic [i s θet k]（美学的） Movement, which advocated [ dv ke t d]（提倡） for "art for art's sake." Wilde's other notable [ n t bl]（著名的） works include "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "An Ideal Husband." Wilde's work is celebrated for its brilliance [ br lj ns]（卓越） and insight [ nsa t]（洞察力） into human nature.
Of Beauty By Francis Bacon
VIRTUE [ v t u ] (美德) is like a rich stone, best plain set; and surely virtue is best, in a body that is comely [ k mli] (秀丽的), though not of delicate [ del k t] (精致的) features; and that hath rather dignity [ d ɡn ti] (尊严) of presence, than beauty of aspect [ spekt] (外貌). Neither is it almost seen, that very beautiful persons are otherwise of great virtue; as if nature were rather busy, not to err, than in labor to produce excellency [ eks l ns ] (卓越). And therefore they prove accomplished, but not of great spirit; and study rather behavior, than virtue. But this holds not always: for Augustus Caesar, Titus Vespasianus, Philip le Belle of France, Edward the Fourth of England, Alcibiades [ ls ba di z] (阿尔西比亚德) of Athens, Ismael the Sophy [ s fi] (波斯苏菲) of Persia, were all high and great spirits; and yet the most beautiful men of their times. In beauty, that of favor [ fe v ] (容貌), is more than that of color; and that of decent and gracious motion, more than that of favor. That is the best part of beauty, which a picture cannot express; no, nor the first sight of the life.
There is no excellent beauty, that hath not some strangeness [ stre nd n s] (奇特) in the proportion. A man cannot tell whether Apelles [ p liz] (阿佩勒斯), or Albert Durer [ lb rt dj r ] (阿尔伯特·丢勒), were the more trifler; whereof the one, would make a personage by geometrical [ d i metr k l] (几何的) proportions; the other, by taking the best parts out of divers [ da v z] (各种的) faces, to make one excellent. Such personages, I think, would please nobody, but the painter that made them. Not but I think a painter may make a better face than ever was; but he must do it by a kind of felicity [f l s ti] (幸运) (as a musician that maketh an excellent air in music), and not by rule. A man shall see faces, that if you examine them part by part, you shall find never a good; and yet altogether do well. If it be true that the principal part of beauty is in decent motion, certainly it is no marvel [ mɑ v l] (惊奇), though persons in years seem many times more amiable [ e mi bl] (可爱的); pulchrorum autumnus pulcher; for no youth can be comely but by pardon, and considering the youth, as to make up the comeliness [ k ml n s] (美丽). Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy to corrupt [k r pt] (腐败), and cannot last; and for the most part it makes a dissolute [ d s lu t] (放荡的) youth, and an age a little out of countenance [ ka nt n ns] (害羞的); but yet certainly again, if it light well, it maketh virtue shine, and vices blush.
