(The first new translation in over a century of the brilli...)
The first new translation in over a century of the brilliant epic novel that inspired Les Misérables Sensational, engrossing, and heartbreaking, The Mysteries of Paris is doubtless one of the most entertaining and influential works to emerge from the nineteenth century. It was one of France’s first serial novels, and for sixteen months, Parisians rushed in droves to the newsstands each week for the latest installment. Eugène Sue’s intricate melodrama unfolds around a Paris where, despite the gulf between them, the fortunes of the rich and poor are inextricably tangled. The suspenseful story of Rodolphe, a magnetic hero of noble heart and shadowy origins, was spun out over 150 issues—garnering wild popularity, influencing political change, and inspiring a raft of successors, including Les Misérables and The Count of Monte Cristo. At long last, this lively translation makes the riveting drama of Sue’s classic available to a new century of readers.

He established the genre of the serial novel with his very popular and widely imitated Les Mystères de Paris which was published in a newspaper from 1842 to 1843. Sue himself acted as surgeon both in the 1823 French campaign in Spain and at the Battle of Navarino (1828). His naval experiences supplied much of the materials of his first novels, Kernock le pirate (1830), Atar-Gull (1831), Louisiana Salamandre (2 vols, 1832), Louisiana Coucaratcha (4 vols, 1832–1834), and others, which were composed at the height of the Romantic movement of 1830.
