Der Ewige Jude - The Eternal Jew. Frankfurt, 1844
Five parts of the antisemitic novel, Der Ewige Jude - The Eternal Jew. Bound together with separate title pages. German.
Sue published his 10-volume book, The Eternal Jew or The Wandering Jew (Le Juif Errant), in 1844-1845. The villain is Rodin the Jesuit who traces immortal treasures in order to achieve world rule. The Jew passed away hundreds of years previously, leaving an ancient treasure behind, and seven heirs battling to obtain it. The Eternal Jew was published as a serial in Le Constitutionnel. The newspaper offered Sue a hundred thousand francs for the story, a huge sum in those days, but the newspaper's profits improved dramatically with circulation rising from 6,000 copies a day to 25,000 copies a day within a short time.
