Mysteries Of Paris is a large novel is scope and size. Mysteries Of Paris is a novel dealing with social criticism. Sue gives the reader a tale of prostitutes and the middle class, violence, and compassion. Sue also wrote another multi-volume work The Wandering Jew. An excerpt reads, "The surprised lapidary rose and opened the door. Two men entered the garret. One of them was tall and thin with a face mean and pimpled surrounded by thick grayish whiskers; he held in his hand a stout loaded cane and wore a shapeless hat and a large green greatcoat covered with mud and buttoned close up to the neck; the black velvet collar much worn exposed to view his long bare red throat which resembled a vulture's."

Sue's Mysteries,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mysteries of Paris (Dedalus European Classics) (Paperback)
Perhaps Sue is the French Dickens--Mysteries of Paris is a novel of social criticism, written as fiction. In the typical style of french prose roman, Sue weaves a tale of prostitutes and the middle class, violence, compassion and the Seine. Sue's novels are grand in scope, and grand in size. Sue also wrote another multivolume work, The Wandering Jew.

Scanned book, low quality print,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mysteries of Paris: A Novel (Paperback)
Those guys didn't even bother to re-edit the book, they simply scanned it so it has all the spots and imperfections of the old edition (which is REALLY OLD). For whatever lousy job they did(n't), the book is heavily over-priced.
