About the author
Born in Paris on January 26, 1804, Eugène Sue trained in medicine and worked as both a military and naval surgeon before devoting himself fully to writing. Those early experiences gave him material for his first sea stories and adventure fiction, but his reputation grew far beyond that.
In the 1840s he became one of the most widely read novelists in France. His serialized novels The Mysteries of Paris and The Wandering Jew were hugely popular, and they helped define the feuilleton, the kind of suspenseful fiction published in newspaper installments that kept readers waiting for the next chapter.
Although his novels were often dramatic and sensational, they also drew attention to poverty, injustice, and the strains of modern city life. That mix of entertainment and social criticism made him an important figure in 19th-century popular literature, and his influence can still be felt in later serial fiction and urban mystery writing.
