Description

We are very pleased to offer 9 books of Eugene Sue’s 19-volume series “The Mysteries of the People” or “History of a Proletarian Family Across the Ages.” This work of fiction graphically traces the special features of the several systems of class rule as they succeeded each other from epoch to epoch, together with the nature of the struggle between the contending classes. It was created to be a European history that depicts the struggle between the ruling and the ruled classes, the oppressors and the oppressed. It was translated from the original French by Daniel DeLeon and published by the New York Labor News Co., between 1904 and 1918. Eugene Sue was a 19th-century novelist and champion of workers. He is best known for “The Mysteries of Paris” and “The Wandering Jew.”

Included are volumes 1-4 (considered as the overture to the historic drama which begins to unfold in volume 5) and volumes 7, 10, 11, 13, and 18. A description of each volume is found below.
