LE JUIF ERRANT Three sequels plot books for teenagers on the subject of 'The Wandering Jew' by Eugene Sue, France, early 20th century.

Eugene Sue [1804-1857], nicknamed the French writer Marie-Joseph Sue, the founder of the 'simple literature' and the founder of the sequel novel, who became known as the "King of the Popular Novel", because he was the most read writer of his time in French fiction. From 1844 to 1845, Sue published his ten-volume book "The Wandering Jew" (Le Juif errant). In this story there is a struggle between the forces of justice against the forces of black. In the book, Sue presents all the distortions of society, from the lower class whose rights are trampled on by the corrupt government to the The disadvantaged women. This book describes more cruelty than the stories he has written in the past, and he uses horror to convey his messages, while sowing fear and shudder his readers. "The Wandering Jew" was published in a sequel in the 'le Constitutionnel' newspaper. In return for the story, the newspaper offered him 100,000 francs, a huge sum in those days, but the newspaper's profits improved miraculously in view of the newspaper's circulation which rose from 6,000 copies a day to 25,000 in a short time.

LE JUIF ERRANT Journal of the Romans, Voyages and Illustrations, Paraissant le Mercredi et Samedi - The Wandering Jew - a Serialized magazine on the 'Wandering Jew'. One hundred consecutive issues published over the course of a full year: 1-101. Paris, from March 31, 1860 - March 16, 1861. From the early publications published continuously on the subject of "The Wandering Jew" in France.

At the cover of each sheet is a painting of the wandering Jewish figure, and an antisemitic plot story usually in the medieval atmosphere.
The legend of the wandering Jew is based on The Middle Ages anti-Semitic folk tale about the Jew who, because he lost his death, could not lose his life, and therefore occasionally appears in different forms and plays different roles. The legend originated in 1228 in a story about a Christian priest who met a Jew (And according to one version Jesus himself who met a Jewish shoemaker on the way to his death), and it served as an object of various anti-Semitic stories about the Jews that appeared in caricatures mainly in nineteenth-century France, portraying the wandering Jew as a foreign threat to human society.

In his letter sent to "Dear Fellows" without mentioning his name, Zola's predicament was reflected during his exile to London. He writes to a friend that if he passes 30 liber (The period coin) to other friend he will remain completely without money, so he prefers to give a check instead through a person named Violet. He also seeks to rent a bicycle for 30 shillings a month, and writes that four libers are supposed to be enough for his needs for three months, asking for additional financial help, and signing: "I will remain grateful that you have come to my aid in one of the most difficult circumstances of my life."

French writer and publicist Emil Zola (1840-1902), from the major supporter of Alfred Dreyfus who was accused of betrayal of the homeland and espionage in favor of Germany. In 1898, Zola joined in fighting the war of the Jewish officer. Zola has initiated actions to prove Dreyfus's innocence following the material he collected on the subject of Jewish writer Bernard Lazar. In a series of articles, Zola proved Dreyfus to be innocent. In January 1898, in the L'aurore newspaper, he published the article "I Accuse" (J'accuse) - an open letter to the President of France, accusing the army chiefs, the War Office and the military tribunal in distortion of law. About 300,000 copies of the paper were hijacked within hours, and the article shook the French public. Zola was prosecuted for libel, sentenced to a year in prison and forced to flee to England. He stayed in London for about a year. In London he lived a mysterious life, under pseudonyms (so he did not sign his full name on the letter before us), until he learned of a retrial for Dreyfus.
