Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Mysteries of Paris, illustrated with etchings, Vol. 5" by Eugène Sue is a serial novel published between 1842-1843. It follows the mysterious Rodolphe, secretly a German Grand Duke disguised as a Parisian worker, who navigates all levels of society to restore social justice in nineteenth-century Paris. He aids the downtrodden—prostitutes, criminals, and the poor—using his strength, compassion, and brilliant mind. This groundbreaking work exposed social inequalities and spawned the "city mysteries" genre, inspiring countless imitations across the Western world.
