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.
