It was one of France's first serial novels, and for sixteen months, Parisians rushed in droves to the newsstands each week for the latest installment. Eug鈩e Sue's intricate melodrama unfolds around a Paris where, despite the gulf between them, the fortunes of the rich and poor are inextricably tangled. The suspenseful story of Rodolphe, a magnetic hero of noble heart and shadowy origins, was spun out over 150 issues--garnering wild popularity, influencing political change, and inspiring a raft of successors, including \u003ci\u003eLes Mis駻ables\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Count of Monte Cristo\u003c\/i\u003e. At long last, this lively translation makes the riveting drama of Sue's classic available to a new century of readers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
