1845 1ed Eugene Sue
Mysteries of Paris anti-Catholic English Novel Literature 3v
‘The Mysteries of Paris’ is a classic
French novel by Eugene Sue, published in the mid-19th-century. In
many ways, ‘Mysteries of Paris’ was a landmark
work as well as being controversial. Sue was one of the first French authors to
fuse characters from different social classes making this work popular amongst
all readers, not just upper or lower classes.
However, this work, which follows the
mysterious life of a German Duke, is one of the most famous ‘anti-Catholic’
novels. Along with ‘The Wandering Jew’, this book
depicted various aspects of underclass society and helped establish the ‘city
mysteries’ literary genre. This 1845 English first edition features nearly
700 illustrations throughout!
