Les Mysteres de Paris, Tome I (Dodo Press)

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.

The Wandering Jew, Book I

Né l'editore né lo stesso autore si attendevano, all'uscita de I misteri di Parigi, lo sconvolgente successo che tutta la Francia - e poi tutta l'Europa - tributarono a Eugène Sue, che aveva ambientato negli inferi parigini un romanzo d'appendice: era invece un thriller ante litteram. Qualunque lettore si appassiona irresistibilmente alle gesta del principe Rodolphe di Gerolstein che cerca sua figlia Fleur-de-Marie. Da un tale successo il genere popolare s'impose nella cultura e dell'editoria del tempo, e scrittori come Balzac, Hugo e Dumas affidarono a questo genere i loro libri.
