Quasimodo is the bell-ringer of Notre Dame and a barely verbal and half-blind hunchback. Ringing the church bells has made him deaf. Abandoned by his mother as a baby, he was adopted by Claude Frollo. Quasimodo's life within the confines of the cathedral and his only two outlets — ringing the bells and his love and devotion for Frollo — are described. He ventures outside the Cathedral rarely, since people despise and shun him for his appearance. The notable occasions when he does leave are his taking part in the Festival of Fools — during which he is elected the Pope of Fools due to his perfect hideousness — and his subsequent attempt to kidnap Esmeralda, his rescue of Esmeralda from the gallows, his attempt to bring Phoebus to Esmeralda, and his final abandonment of the cathedral at the end of the novel. It is revealed in the story that the baby Quasimodo was left by the Gypsies in place of Esmeralda, whom they abducted. Esmeralda (born Agnes) is a beautiful young Gypsy street dancer who is naturally compassionate and kind. She is the center of the human drama within the story. A popular focus of the citizens' attentions, she experiences their changeable attitudes, being first adored as an entertainer, then hated as a witch, before being lauded again for her beliefs will rightly protect her but who simply wants to seduce her. She is one of the few characters to show Quasimodo a moment of human kindness, as shown when she gives him water after the hunchback's flogging. She is eventually revealed to not actually be a gypsy, but was abducted by them and was replaced with the deformed Quasimodo. Claude Frollo, the novel's main antagonist, is the Archdeacon of Notre Dame. His dour attitude and his alchemical experiments have alienated him from the Parisians, who believe him a sorcerer. His parents having died of plague when he was a young man, he is without family save for Quasimodo, for whom he cares, and his spoiled brother Jehan, whom he attempts to reform towards a better life. Frollo's numerous sins include lechery, failed alchemy and other listed vices. His mad attraction to Esmeralda sets off a chain of events, including her attempted abduction and Frollo almost murdering Phoebus in a jealous rage, leading to Esmeralda's execution. Jehan Frollo is Claude Frollo's 16-year-old over-indulged younger brother. He is a troublemaker and a student at the university. He is dependent on his brother for money, which he then proceeds to squander on alcohol. Quasimodo kills him during the attack on the cathedral. He briefly enters the cathedral by ascending one of the towers with a borrowed ladder, but Quasimodo sees him and throws him down to his death. Phoebus de Chateaupers is the Captain of the King's Archers. After he saves Esmeralda from abduction, she becomes infatuated with him, and he is intrigued by her. Already betrothed to the beautiful but spiteful Fleur-de-Lys, he wants to lie with Esmeralda nonetheless but is prevented when Frollo stabs him. Phoebus survives but Esmeralda is taken to be the attempted assassin by all, including Phoebus himself. He is later married to Fleur-de-Lys and is miserable. Fleur-de-Lys de Gondelaurier is a beautiful and wealthy socialite engaged to Phoebus. Phoebus's attentions to Esmeralda make her insecure and jealous, and she and her friends respond by treating Esmeralda with contempt and spite. Fleur-de-Lys later neglects to inform Phoebus that Esmeralda has not been executed, which serves to deprive the pair of any further contact—though as Phoebus no longer loves Esmeralda by this time, this does not matter. The novel ends with their wedding. Pierre Gringoire, the novel's protagonist, is a struggling poet. He mistakenly finds his way into the "Court of Miracles", the domain of the Truands. In order to preserve the secrecy, Gringoire must either be killed by hanging, or marry a Gypsy. Although Esmeralda does not love him, and in fact believes him a coward rather than a true man — unlike Phoebus, he failed in his attempt to rescue her from Quasimodo — she takes pity on his plight and marries him. But, because she is already in love with Phoebus, much to his disappointment, she will not let him touch her. Sister Gudule, formerly named Paquette la Chantefleurie, is an anchoress, who lives in seclusion in an exposed cell in central Paris. She is tormented by the loss of her daughter Agnes, whom she believes to have been cannibalised by Gypsies as a baby, and devotes her life to mourning her. Her long-lost daughter turns out to be Esmeralda. Louis XI is the King of France. Appears briefly when he is brought the news of the rioting at Notre Dame. He orders his guard to kill the rioters, and also the "witch" Esmeralda. Tristan l'Hermite is a friend of King Louis XI. He leads the band that goes to capture Esmeralda. Henriet Cousin is the city executioner, who hangs Esmeralda. Florian Barbedienne is the judge who sentences Quasimodo to be tortured. He is also deaf. Jacques Charmolue is Frollo's friend in charge of torturing prisoners. He gets Esmeralda to falsely confess to killing Phoebus. He then has her imprisoned. Clopin Trouillefou is the King of Truands. He rallies the Court of Miracles to rescue Esmeralda from Notre Dame after the idea is suggested by Gringoire. He is eventually killed during the attack by the King's soldiers. Pierrat Torterue is the torturer who tortures Esmeralda after her interrogation. He hurts Esmeralda so badly she falsely confesses, sealing her own fate. He was also the official who administered the savage flogging awarded to Quasimodo by Barbedienne.

THE FACADE PRESIDENCYThis work offers an eye opening perspective on George Walker Bush, his administration, his policies, and how our country and world have been affected. It is an expose on the deception and obfuscation by him, his executive team, and administration with the help of a Republican Congress and enabling media. What makes this writing so imperative was G. W.'s tour of speeches, press conferences, and rule changes to whitewash eight years of deception and betrayal. This book also provides a different perspective on some of George W. Bush's Decision Points. It uses facts to remove the conflicting and misleading information of the Bush years. It illustrates why our country got the results we did and where it is today based upon the actions of his administration. A professional reviewer wrote, "It was a passionate yet professional view of his presidency. Anyone who wants to blame the current state of our nation on the current President should read this book." Excerpts: "Then, the conflict ensued over our ideals and administrative innuendos about WMDs in Iraq. Except for some 'liberal outliers' the media supported his arguments and fanatical optimism therefore tacitly approving his reasons for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. The silent majority ached for constructive open debate about the justification for war. Their concerns were valid; we were about to send our sons and daughters into harm's way again." "As the world picture illustrated, we had stepped off our "high and mighty" perch to slug it out with the rest of the world in the degradation of civilization. We sank so low in eight years that we may never recoup our good standing throughout the world. Would it be possible to pull back from such a state? I don't know. The only point I can offer with certainty is that the U.S. was no longer considered "the good guys in white hats." "The elections that put G.W. into the White House and kept him there for four more years were shams. These elections disgraced our political system, from judges, to public administrators, to the media, to the Democrats, and, especially, to the Republicans. They represented the worst of democracy and set back the intent of our founding fathers. We should be ashamed as a nation to have allowed these to occur when so many countries have looked up to us and attempted to emulate our previous successes with democracy." "According to the data analysis after the election, it was evident that millions of Americans didn't get it wrong; they just had their votes suppressed or usurped!" "'Trickle down' economics based upon free enterprise was an abysmal failure for which the average American would have to pay for decades to come. In retrospect, the $750 billion bailout of financial institutions to solidify the financial markets and allow lending to pass down to banks and other lenders starkly illustrated that 'trickle down' did not work, especially when after two months none of the bailout money was available to consumers."

The ability to accumulate and store large amounts of goods is a key feature of complex societies in ancient times. Storage strategies reflect the broader economic and political organization of a society and changes in the development of control mechanisms in both administrative and non-administrative—often kinship based—sectors. This is the first volume to examine storage practices in ancient complex societies from a comparative perspective. This volume includes 14 original papers by leading archaeologists from four continents which compare storage systems in three key regions with lengthy traditions of complexity: the ancient Near East, Mesoamerica, and Andes. Storage in Ancient Complex Societies demonstrates the importance of understanding storage for the study of cultural evolution.

The new book "Mian of Yin and Yang" can be said to be the longest preparation work of Xiao San. Before Douro started writing, this book "Mian of Yin and Yang" had been conceived with Douro. Just because the setting of Douro was made first, Douro was created first. At that time, Yin Yang Mian completed the outline first, and was temporarily named Dionysus. In the year of creating Douluo, Xiao San kept collecting all kinds of materials for Yin and Yang Corona, perfecting his outline and setting.
