184432820731<p>Ten volumes in five. Complete with half-titles. Contemporary half calf. Light rubbing some foxing. A very good untouched set.</p><p>First edition of Sue's<em> The Wandering Jew</em>. This is the rare first edition in book form preceding the far more common illustrated and popular editions that soon followed.<br />Sue's <em>Le Juif Errant</em> a classic of French nineteenth-century popular fiction was written at the height of the age of Balzac Dumas and Hugo.</p><p>According to Sue's novel the Huguenot Rennepont family lost its wealth during the French Catholic persecution. What little remained was entrusted to the Jewish banker Samuel who with his heirs turned the money into a fortune over 150 years. The terms of the arrangement called for the descendants to meet at a certain address in Paris in 1832 to divide the inheritance. This book is the story of the seven remaining members of the family and the efforts of the Jesuits to eliminate them and claim the fortune for themselves. The old Jewish banker appears at the novel's end proclaiming an end to the curse of the Wandering Jew.</p><p>"Eugene Sue wrote his <em>Juif Errant</em> in 1844. From the latter work … most people derive their knowledge of the legend" <em>Jewish Encyclopedia</em>. The medieval story of the Wandering Jew describes a Jew who taunted Jesus on the way to his crucifixion saying "Go on more quickly." Jesus replied "I go but thou shalt wait till I return" thereby condemning the man to roam the earth until the Second Coming. Oral tradition song and popular literature perpetuated the long-lived anti-Semitic legend and described supposed sightings of the Wandering Jew.</p><p>"Sue was like Dumas an improviser and possessed remarkable fecundity and invention. To these qualities add the instinct for portraying the weird and the terrible and it is not hard to understand why he was popular in his day and retains a good share of that popularity still" Warner.</p><p>The first edition is rarely encountered in a contemporary binding complete with all half-titles. Only one set appears in the auction records of the past twenty-five years.</p> Paulin hardcover
184110854London: J. Clements. London J. Clements nd c1841. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A very good copy. A penny dreadful presumably. Six numbers bound as one with a title page and an author's preface dated 1831. Each part is numbered and pagination continues between the parts though there are no prices on each part. The story takes starts with a slave ship being boarded by a pirate Brulart who seems to be white not black. Subseqent to this a couple of years later I think one of the slaves Attar Gull takes revenge on his captors but suffers and dies cursing the white man. I suspect the inclusion of Brulart in the title of this 49 page piece is to bringing in the readers as the main bulk of the story is around Gull. Scarce with no copies at auction since 1932. Recently rebound in 1/4 calf with marbled boards. The binding is new so the description relates only to the text block. The leaves are mostly in excellent shape with the inevitable ageing and tanning a few leaves have a stain that doesn't affect the text's readability. There is some loss to text at the lower margin where the book has been trimmed at some point. 10854 Hyraxia Books. nd c1841 . Very Good. Hardback. 1st Edition. 1841. J. Clements hardcover

Some foxing as usual. Le juif errant is one of the greatest bestsellers of the 19th century published just after Les mystères de Paris. To the narrative qualities of Les mystères de Paris Le juif errant adds the intervention of the supernatural and the fantastic represented by the legendary vagabond who gives his name to the book. Preceded by cholera which inspired Eugène Sue to write anthology pages the legendary Jew returns from beyond the seas and beyond the centuries to prevent the Society of Jesus from seizing a fabulous fortune by eliminating its heirs one by one. Le juif errant being an adventure novel taking place in the four corners of the world. It triggered an anti-Jesuit movement in France. If Eugène Sue is more or less forgotten today he was not only one of the most famous novelists of the 19th century but the most read in Europe and even Dostoevsky was a regular reader of his work. Few writers of this era benefited from the editorial qualities demonstrated by Les mystères de Paris and Le juif errant abundantly and superbly illustrated. He was Dumas's main competitor and the latter thought he would even outlive him. Paulin hardcover
