เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Eugène Sue (1804–1857) was a prolific French novelist whose works reflect a potent blend of social commentary and vivid melodrama. He achieved widespread popularity in the 19th century, particularly for his serialized novels. Born into a prosperous bourgeois family, Sue served as a ship’s surgeon before embarking on his literary career. His experiences at sea, which exposed him to diverse cultures and social inequities, heavily influenced his writing. A champion of the marginalized, Sue’s works often highlighted the struggles of the poor and disenfranchised, exemplified in one of his masterpieces, ‘The Blacksmith’s Hammer; or, The Peasant Code: A Tale of the Grand Monarch.’ This novel delves into the challenges faced by peasants under Louis XIV’s oppressive regime, showcasing Sue’s commitment to social reform. Sue’s literary style is characterized by its lush, emotive prose and intricate plotlines that captivate readers while unashamedly advocating for societal change. His monumental work, ‘The Mysteries of Paris, ‘ further cemented his reputation as a pioneer of the serial novel and an influential figure in the advent of the social novel genre. Despite his death in the mid-19th century, Eugene Sue’s narratives remain significant for their historic insight and their enduring call for justice and empathy towards the less fortunate.
