When fire roared through Notre-Dame in April 2019, millions of people around the world feared the iconic Parisian cathedral was lost. But the conflagration is just one chapter in the church's storied eight-hundred-year history (and one chapter in this informative book). Built on the site of a Roman temple to Jupiter, Notre-Dame survived religious wars, revolutions, the Nazi occupation of Paris…not to mention hordes of tourists and devoted worshippers. This illustrated tribute beautifully captures Notre-Dame's significance to Western religion, French history, world architecture, even literature and film (thanks to Quasimodo), creating a wonderful keepsake for admirers of the renowned landmark.

Review by Anthony on 07/12/22 review stating Great book
I have always been a fan of Notre-Dame Cathedral, being a Catholic convert, I am particularly interested in the history, after the unfortunate fire, I became even more intrigued , to the point of learning all I could about this great iconic place.

History come to life
Review by REGINA on 03/05/22 review stating History come to life
I am trying to write a partly autobiographical book about Woodrow Wilson and World War I based on remembrances from my childhood of elderly relatives who lived at the turn of the century and also my own Rick Steves travels in Europe. This book makes the silent movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame come to life and I dont care if scholars have disproved that the hunchback is not in the stone carving over the side door there because I saw it and it is him. Thank you Regina H Soule
