The Scythe Trilogy. Some of the best books I've ever read.

What I also wanted to ask: In which chapter and in which passage of the text do you exactly recognize `The Hunchback of Notre Dame` in the book in question?

Maybe you misunderstood what I said. I meant that in our highschool curriculum we were analysing such epics as Hunchback and also The Little Prince which is a children's book. There's no reason it should be there apart from teacher's nostalgia.

Sword in the Stone was amazing.

I have to disagree.
Admittingly I haven't read either of the books.
But still I am sure, I could find multiply different angles to analyze them.
And according to wikipedia, the Little prince touches on many adult topics.
And the Hunchback of Notre Dame is anything but a children's book.
Unless you read an abridged watered down children version, or only know of it through the Disney Cartoon.

Not sure what a "Teenager book" might be (imbued, as it seems to be, with that pernicious notion of Graded Readers). But favorites of mine back then included:
The Immense Journey - Loren Eiseley
The Martian Chronicles - Ray Bradbury
Quest For The Future - A E Van Vogt
The World Inside - Robert Silverberg
(And yes, that last one was gloriously "inappropriate.") :)

in the case of The Little Prince it is rather a book intended for children, the subtitle is "dedicated to Léon Werth when he was a little boy". even if I consider that there is no age to read them. by St Exupéry, there is "Vol de nuit " and "Pilote de guerre" which I really appreciated, very human and humanist books, with both a spectator's view of historical events and very deep thought.
