THE WANDERING JEW
By Eugene Sue
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 atonce 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.

Prologue.The Land's End of Two Worlds.
The Arctic Ocean encircles with a belt of eternal ice the desert
confines of Siberia and North America—the uttermost limits of the
Old and New worlds, separated by the narrow, channel, known as
Behring's Straits.
The last days of September have arrived.
The equinox has brought with it darkness and Northern storms, and
night will quickly close the short and dismal polar day. The
