Sue, Eugène: The Branding Needle. v1. 9 May 2015
Joseph Marie Eugène Sue (French pronunciation: [ø.ʒɛn sy] (20 January 1804 – 3 August 1857) was a French novelist. He established the genre of the serial novel with his very popular and widely imitated Les Mystères de Paris which was published in a newspaper from 1842 to 1843.
Excerpt Semiramis, Brunhild, Catherine of Medicis constitute a trinity of historic women unique in their greatness. Their ambition was boundless, their intellectual powers matchless, the depths of their immorality unfathomable. As such they were the scourges of their respective ages. Queen Brunhild, a central figure in this superb story, may be said to be the Sixth Century heiress of the Semiramis of over ten centuries earlier, and the progenitor of the Catherine of nearly ten centuries later, who figures later in the sixteenth story of this series of Eugene Sue’s of historic novels named by him The Mysteries of the People; or, History of a Proletarian Family Across the Ages This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
