Book Overview
Joseph Marie Eug ne Sue was a French novelist. He established the genre of the serial novel with his very popular and widely imitated Les Myst res de Paris which was published in a newspaper from 1842 to 1843. His naval experiences supplied much of the materials of his first novels, Kernock le pirate (1830), Atar-Gull (1831), La Salamandre (2 vols., 1832), La Coucaratcha (4 vols., 1832-1834), and others, which were composed at the height of the Romantic movement of 1830. In the quasi-historical style he wrote Jean Cavalier, ou Les Fanatiques des Cevennes (4 vols., 1840) and Latr aumont (2 vols., 1837). His Mathilde (1841) contains the first known expression of the popular proverb "La vengeance se mange tr s-bien froide", lately expressed in English as "Revenge is a dish best served cold".
