The hero of the novel is the mysterious and distinguished Rodolphe, who is really the Grand Duke of Gérolstein (a fictional country) but is disguised as a Parisian worker. Rodolphe can speak in argot (the secret language of criminals), is extremely strong and a good fighter. Yet he also shows great compassion for the lower classes, good judgment, and a brilliant mind. He can navigate all layers of society in order to understand their problems, and to understand how the different social classes are linked. The Mysteries of Paris occupies a unique space in the birth of the French novel of the 19th century: it entranced thousands of readers for more than a year and was also a major work in the formation of a certain form of social consciousness. One often hears that the 1848 revolution was partly born in the pages of The Mysteries of Paris or, more appropriately, that The Mysteries of Paris helped create a climate which allowed the 1848 revolution to occur. The novel is released as audiobook in 6 volumes, of which this is volume 2. Reading by Celine Major, total running time (TRT): 11 hours. Also available as e-book (ePUB). Marie-Joseph "Eugène" Sue (1804-1857) was a French novelist. He was one of several authors who popularized the genre of the serial novel in France with his very popular and widely imitated The Mysteries of Paris, which was published in a newspaper from 1842 to 1843.

Le style de Sue, riche et descriptif, enrichit le tableau de ses personnages complexes et de leurs motivations profondes, tout en intégrant des éléments symboliques qui soulignent les luttes morales et les conflits sociaux. Le roman s'inscrit dans le courant réaliste et engagé, typique de son époque, cherchant à éveiller les consciences sur les travers de son pays. Eugène Sue, écrivain et engagé social, est souvent considéré comme l'un des précurseurs du roman populaire. Sa formation médicale, associée à une sensibilité aiguë aux injustices sociales, l'a conduit à aborder des thèmes variés tels que la misère, la bienveillance et la solidarité humaine dans ses œuvres.

Le morne au diable

Dans "Mathilde: mémoires d'une jeune femme", Eugène Sue dépeint le parcours émotionnel et sociétal d'une jeune femme qui se débat dans le tourbillon de la passion et des conventions du XIXe siècle. À travers un style narratif riche et fluide, rempli de descriptions évocatrices et de réflexions introspectives, l'auteur explore les dilemmes moraux et les injustices sociales de son temps. Ce roman s'inscrit dans le mouvement du romantisme et du réalisme naissant, abordant avec audace des thèmes tels que l'amour, l'aliénation et l'aspiration à la liberté individuelle, faisant de Mathilde une figure emblématique des luttes féminines de son époque. Eugène Sue, influencé par son engagement politique et social, ainsi que par son expérience de la vie parisienne, puise dans ses observations pour créer des personnages profondément humains. Né en 1804, il est rapidement devenu un auteur majeur du roman feuilleton, mêlant intrigue et critique sociale. La publication de "Mathilde" met en lumière son intérêt pour les histoires de femmes confrontées aux lourdeurs d'une société patriarcale, tout en s'opposant aux inégalités qui prévalent au sein de la classe bourgeoise de son époque. Recommandé pour les amateurs de littérature engagée, ce roman offre une plongée fascinante dans l'âme d'une jeune femme, tout en suscitant une réflexion sur la condition féminine au XIXe siècle.

Mathilde: mémoires d'une jeune femme

"L'alouette du casque; ou, Victoria, la mère des camps" est un roman d'Eugène Sue qui s'inscrit dans le courant du roman social du XIXe siècle. Ce récit vibrant mélange aventure, histoire et critique sociale, en se concentrant sur la figure de Victoria, symbolisant à la fois la force et la maternité sacrificielle au sein d'un contexte de guerres et de conflits. Sue utilise un style narratif riche et descriptif, illustrant les luttes des personnages face aux injustices du monde, tout en déployant une intrigue captivante qui tient le lecteur en haleine. L'œuvre témoigne d'une époque marquée par l'essor de l'industrialisation et une forte conscience sociale, caractéristiques essentielles du lazy novel français de son temps. Eugène Sue, écrivain engagé et fervent défenseur des classes populaires, s'inspire sans doute de ses propres préoccupations sociales et politiques. Son expérience au sein de la chambre des députés et ses voyages en Scandinavie ont aiguisé son sens de l'observation sur les injustices dont souffrent les plus démunis. Ces éléments nourrissent sa plume, lui permettant de donner vie à des personnages complexes et réalistes, porteurs d'espoir et de lutte pour la justice. Je recommande vivement "L'alouette du casque" aux lecteurs en quête d'un récit à la fois poignant et engageant, qui offre une vision lucide des défis sociaux de son époque, tout en restant intemporel dans ses thèmes de solidarité et de résistance. Ce livre est une réflexion profonde sur la condition humaine et un appel à la prise de conscience collective.

L'alouette du casque; ou, Victoria, la mère des camps

Aux abords de l'Océan Polaire qui joint la Sibérie à l’Amérique du Nord, les empreintes à sept clous formant une croix d'un marcheur invétéré (côté Europe), et celles d'une femme (côté Amérique), semblent dire que tous deux s'observent. Il s'agit du Juif errant et de la princesse juive Hérodiade : les figures protectrices de tous les personnages de la série légendaire du « Juif errant ». Au fil des seize parties, comme dans « Les Mystères de Paris », Eugène Sue peint la vie des travailleurs, des ouvriers, des hommes et des femmes des bas-fonds. Il introduit ainsi en littérature une foule de marginaux que le roman bourgeois avait jusqu'alors dédaignés, et exhorte, en un roman-feuilleton extrêmement populaire à sa sortie, les souffrances du peuple. Mais il dresse aussi un réquisitoire contre le fanatisme et l’intolérance religieuse, avec une figure monumentale de la littérature occidentale, celle du juif errant. Eugène Sue (1804-1857) est un écrivain français, né dans la richesse de la garde de Napoléon Ier. Enfant, c’est un élève turbulent qui, malgré une famille de chirurgiens à l’hôpital de la maison du roi, souhaite démissionner de ses obligations pour devenir Dandy. Son père meurt alors qu’il n’a que 28 ans, lui léguant une fortune considérable. Eugène Sue en profite, et dépense en seulement sept ans tout l’argent. Il doit retourner à la littérature pour arrondir ses fins de mois. Il commence par des romans maritimes, écrits dans un romantisme noir, qui relatent ses expériences de voyage en tant que militaire chirurgien. « La Salamandre », 1832, est un succès. Son socialisme engagé grandit, et sous un plume critique, écrit de 1842 à 1843 « Les Mystères de Paris », suivi du « Juif errant ». Lors de l’accession au pouvoir par Napoléon III, Sue s’emporte violemment contre le coup d’État. Condamné à la prison, il s’exile. «Les Mystères du peuple» est publié mais doit déjouer la censure.

Le Juif Errant

Les "Romans, Nouvelles et Histoires Maritimes" d'Eugène Sue assemblent des récits inspirés par la mer, révélant une intention profonde de mêler aventure et critique sociale. Dans une prose à la fois flamboyante et accessible, Sue ne se contente pas de narrer des histoires de marins et de navigateurs ; il explore également les drames humains et les injustices qui sous-tendent la condition humaine. Ces récits, issus du contexte littéraire du XIXe siècle, où le roman devient un moyen d'engagement social, illustrent la fascination de l'auteur pour l'intrigue maritime et le savoir-faire narratif. Eugène Sue, devant un paysage politique agité et des révolutions sociales en France, a été fortement influencé par les luttes des classes populaires et les mouvements de réforme de son époque. Romancier prolifique, il a cherché à mettre en lumière les souffrances des opprimés, empruntant souvent au récit maritime son atmosphère de quête et de danger. Sue a su s'imprégner de ses voyages et de ses connaissances dans le domaine maritime pour donner vie à des personnages vibrants qui naviguent entre exploit et désespoir. Je recommande vivement cette anthologie, qui ravira non seulement les amateurs de littérature maritime, mais qui invite également à une réflexion sur les enjeux sociaux de l'époque, tout en offrant un divertissement de qualité. C'est un incontournable pour quiconque souhaite comprendre la complexité des rapports humains à travers le prisme des expériences maritimes.

À travers des personnages flamboyants et des intrigues palpitantes, Sue explore les luttes humaines, la condition sociale et les passions maritimes, évoluant dans un contexte littéraire marqué par la quête de nouveaux horizons et une critique sociale accrue. Eugène Sue, écrivain français né en 1804, a connu une carrière prolifique dans le roman populaire et engagé. Sa sensibilité aux injustices sociales et aux problématiques contemporaines provient en partie de son éducation et de ses expériences de voyage en mer, lui permettant ainsi de développer une empathie pour les marginaux et les opprimés qu'il met en lumière dans ses œuvres. L'écrivant dans l'optique d'éveiller les consciences, Sue se démarque par sa volonté de promouvoir une littérature alliant divertissement et réflexion. Je recommande vivement "Romans, Nouvelles et Histoires Maritimes" à quiconque recherche une expérience littéraire riche, où l'aventure et la critique sociale se rencontrent. Cela permet de découvrir une perpétuelle lutte de l'homme face à la mer et au destin, tout en réfléchissant à la société de son temps. Sue réussit à captiver son lecteur par des récits passionnants, tout en distillant des messages poignants sur la condition humaine.

Extrait : "Jamais je n'oublierai les émotions saisissantes de cette nuit, que je passai dans une sorte de délire raisonnable, si cela se peut dire. Tantôt je marchais à grands pas dans ma chambre, tantôt je m'arrêtais brusquement pour m'agenouiller et pour prier avec ferveur ; puis j'avais des éclats de joie folle, des ressentiments de bonheur immense, des élans de fierté calme et majestueuse."

Mathilde

En une semaine la vierge guerrière, inspirée par le saint amour de la patrie, a vaincu les Anglais, triomphants depuis la bataille de Poitiers! En une semaine la vaillante fille du peuple accomplit ce que navaient pu accomplir, depuis plus dun demi-siècle, tant de nobles et illustres capitaines! Voici, jour par jour, le récit de la SEMAINE DE JEANNE DARC.

La semaine de Jeanne d'arc

La Salamandre fend les vagues en direction de l'Inde. Ce navire de la flotte militaire compte à son bord le capitaine et marquis de Longetour. Longtemps tenancier d’un bureau de tabac, il a tout oublié de la navigation. Il s'appuie désormais sur son second, le lieutenant Pierre Huet, un amoureux de la discipline et de l'honneur. Mais malgré l'expérience de Pierre et ses efforts pour maintenir le cap, le navire est en proie aux tensions de ses moussaillons, à l'agitation des éléments naturels, et à la constante menace des pirates… Huit clos, naufrage, mutinerie, pirate et enlèvement, il s'agit là de la fabuleuse aventure maritime d'Eugène Sue. Auteur des « Mystères de Paris », il affirme son statut d'auteur magistral dans un roman d'aventures nourri d'un romantisme noir. Eugène Sue (1804-1857) est un écrivain français, élevé dans la richesse de la garde de Napoléon Ier. Enfant, c’est un élève turbulent qui, malgré une famille de chirurgiens à l’hôpital de la maison du roi, souhaite démissionner de ses obligations pour devenir Dandy. Son père meurt alors qu’il n’a que 28 ans, lui léguant une fortune considérable. Eugène Sue en profite, et dépense en seulement sept ans tout l’argent. Il doit se consacrer de nouveau à la littérature pour arrondir ses fins de mois. Il commence par des romans maritimes, écrits dans un romantisme noir, qui relatent ses expériences de voyage en tant que militaire chirurgien. « La Salamandre », 1832, est un succès. Son socialisme engagé grandit, et sous un plume critique, écrit de 1842 à 1843 « Les Mystères de Paris », suivi du « Juif errant ».

La Salamandre

Dieses Werk handelt von intriganten Adelsparteien und besonders dem Pariser Unterschichten-Milieu, dessen schwieriger Alltag zwischen Arbeit, Elend und Verbrechen von Sue teils realistisch, teils pittoresk idealisierend, aber immer spannend und mit wachsender Anteilnahme geschildert wird. Eine zentrale Person und Identifikationsfigur des Autors ist hierbei der Comte (= Graf) de Gérolstein, der sich als "Rodolphe" inkognito unter das Volk begibt und rettend und rächend als Superheld auftritt.

Die Geheimnisse von Paris

Entführung, Mord und Prostitution: Eugène Sues "Die Geheimnisse von Paris" entführt die Leser in die elenden Arbeiterviertel und die Unterwelt von Paris im Jahre 1838. In den schmutzigen Spelunken, wo sich die Verbrecher der Stadt treffen, werden finstere Pläne geschmiedet, während sich in den schicken Salons der adligen Oberschicht familiäre Dramen abspielen, aber um jeden Preis die Fassade gewahrt werden muss. Der Moloch Paris lässt hier mit seiner Enge, seinem Dreck und den allgegenwärtigen Verbrechen die Menschen verrohen. Und mitten in diesem Sumpf der zwielichtigen Gassen des Großstadtdschungels erscheint wie aus dem Nichts ein fremder Retter, der sich den Hilflosen und Entrechteten zur Seite stellt, um das Boshafte zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. Auf insgesamt knapp 2000 Seiten entfaltet sich ein detailreiches und farbenprächtiges Bild des Pariser Alltags Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Dutzende von Figuren aus unterschiedlichen sozialen Ständen und ihre Geschichten werden mit dem Haupthandlungsfaden des Werkes verwoben. Sue verbindet Elemente des Kriminalromans, des Gesellschaftsromans und des Melodrams und erschafft daraus ein bildgewaltiges Epos einer vergangenen Zeit, das durch sein Rachemotiv und die intriganten Verwicklungen zuweilen an den Graf von Monte Christo von Alexandre Dumas erinnert, der von Sue inspiriert wurde. Der Abenteuer-Klassiker liegt hier in der ungekürzten Übertragung ins Deutsche von August Diezmann vor. Zeichensetzung und Rechtschreibung der Erstübertragung wurden teilweise dem heutigen Sprachgebrauch angenähert, teilweise beibehalten. Dies ist der Versuch eines Kompromisses zwischen einem Zugeständnis an die Lesegewohnheiten heutiger Leserinnen und Leser sowie der Bewahrung des damaligen Sprachkolorits, welches wesentlich zur Atmosphäre der Geschichte beiträgt. Dieses ist der sechste von sechs Bänden des monumentalen Werkes. Der Umfang des sechsten Bandes entspricht ca. 460 Buchseiten.

Entführung, Mord und Prostitution: Eugène Sues "Die Geheimnisse von Paris" entführt die Leser in die elenden Arbeiterviertel und die Unterwelt von Paris im Jahre 1838. In den schmutzigen Spelunken, wo sich die Verbrecher der Stadt treffen, werden finstere Pläne geschmiedet, während sich in den schicken Salons der adligen Oberschicht familiäre Dramen abspielen, aber um jeden Preis die Fassade gewahrt werden muss. Der Moloch Paris lässt hier mit seiner Enge, seinem Dreck und den allgegenwärtigen Verbrechen die Menschen verrohen. Und mitten in diesem Sumpf der zwielichtigen Gassen des Großstadtdschungels erscheint wie aus dem Nichts ein fremder Retter, der sich den Hilflosen und Entrechteten zur Seite stellt, um das Boshafte zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. Auf insgesamt knapp 2000 Seiten entfaltet sich ein detailreiches und farbenprächtiges Bild des Pariser Alltags Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Dutzende von Figuren aus unterschiedlichen sozialen Ständen und ihre Geschichten werden mit dem Haupthandlungsfaden des Werkes verwoben. Sue verbindet Elemente des Kriminalromans, des Gesellschaftsromans und des Melodrams und erschafft daraus ein bildgewaltiges Epos einer vergangenen Zeit, das durch sein Rachemotiv und die intriganten Verwicklungen zuweilen an den Graf von Monte Christo von Alexandre Dumas erinnert, der von Sue inspiriert wurde. Der Abenteuer-Klassiker liegt hier in der ungekürzten Übertragung ins Deutsche von August Diezmann vor. Zeichensetzung und Rechtschreibung der Erstübertragung wurden teilweise dem heutigen Sprachgebrauch angenähert, teilweise beibehalten. Dies ist der Versuch eines Kompromisses zwischen einem Zugeständnis an die Lesegewohnheiten heutiger Leserinnen und Leser sowie der Bewahrung des damaligen Sprachkolorits, welches wesentlich zur Atmosphäre der Geschichte beiträgt. Dieses ist der dritte von sechs Bänden des monumentalen Werkes. Der Umfang des dritten Bandes entspricht ca. 330 Buchseiten.

Die Geheimnisse von Paris. Band I

Eugène Sue inmortaliza la leyenda del judío errante con una larga novela, convertida en un relato folletinesco y publicado por entregas en un periódico de su época, en la que deja entrever una denuncia tanto de la cruda realidad de la incipiente clase obrera parisina como de la Iglesia y, en concreto, de la Compañía de Jesús.
