Described by Victor Hugo as âThe Dickens of Parisâ, EugĂšne Sue was a prolific author that popularised the genre of the serial novel in France. Sue wrote the much-admired and widely imitated âThe Mysteries of Parisâ, as well as many other sensational novels, exploring the seamy side of urban life. Though known for their melodramatic quality, Sueâs novels were the first to tackle the social ills that accompanied the Industrial Revolution in France. This comprehensive eBook presents Sueâs collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts appearing in digital print for the first time, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
