The Wandering Jew, Volume 7 (Esprios Classics)

The Wandering Jew is an 1844 novel by the French writer Eugène Sue. It is a Gothic novel depicting the titular character in conflict with the villain, a murderous Jesuit named Rodin. The Wandering Jew was a serially published novel, which attained great popularity in Paris, and beyond. According to historian John McGreevy, the novel was intensely and deliberately "anti-Catholic". Its publication, and that of its predecessor The Mysteries of Paris, greatly increased the circulation of the magazines in which they were published and depicted the intrigues of the nobility and the harsh life of the underclass to a wide public.
