      A NOTE ON THE AUTHOR OF THE WANDERING JEW: EUGENE SUE 

      (1804-1857)    
      Time and again physicians and seamen have made noteworthy reputations as      novelists. But it is rare in the annals of literature that a man trained      in both professions should have gained his greatest fame as a writer of      novels. Eugene Sue began his career as a physician and surgeon, and then      spent six years in the French Navy. In 1830, when he returned to France,      he inherited his father’s rich estate and was free to follow his      inclination to write. His first novel, “Plick et Plock”, met with an      unexpected success, and he at once foreswore the arts of healing and      navigation for the precarious life of a man of letters. With varying      success he produced books from his inexhaustible store of personal      experiences as a doctor and sailor. In 1837, he wrote an authoritative      work on the French Navy, “Histoire de la marine Francaise”.    
      More and more the novel appealed to his imagination and suited his gifts.      His themes ranged from the fabulous to the strictly historical, and he      became popular as a writer of romance and fictionized fact. His plays,      however, were persistent failures. When he published “The Mysteries of      Paris”, his national fame was assured, and with the writing of “The      Wandering Jew” he achieved world-wide renown. Then, at the height of his      literary career, Eugene Sue was driven into exile after Louis Napoleon      overthrew the Constitutional Government in a coup d’etat and had himself      officially proclaimed Emperor Napoleon III. The author of “The Wandering      Jew” died in banishment five years later.
