The Mysteries of Paris (Penguin Classics)

The first new translation in over a century of the brilliant epic novel that inspired Les MisÃ©rables
Â
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 Franceâ€™s first serial novels, and for sixteen months, Parisians rushed in droves to the newsstands each week for the latest installment. EugÃ¨ne Sueâ€™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 issuesâ€”garnering wild popularity, influencing political change, and inspiring a raft of successors, including Les MisÃ©rables and The Count of Monte Cristo. At long last, this lively translation makes the riveting drama of Sueâ€™s classic available to a new century of readers.
