  The Wandering Jew; Volume 1
  by Eugene Sue
  A NOTE ON THE AUTHOR OF
  The Wandering Jew
  EUGENE SUE
  (1804…1857)
  Time and again physicians and seamen have made noteworthy reputations as
  novelists。  But it is rare in the annals of literature that a man trained
  in both professions should have gained his greatest fame as a writer of
  novels。  Eugene Sue began his career as a physician and surgeon; and then
  spent six years in the French Navy。  In 1830; when he returned to France;
  he inherited his father's rich estate and was free to follow his
  inclination to write。  His first novel; 〃Plick et Plock〃; met with an
  unexpected success; and he at once foreswore the arts of healing and
  navigation for the precarious life of a man of letters。  With varying
  success he produced books from his inexhaustible store of personal
  experiences as a doctor and sailor。  In 1837; he wrote an authoritative
  work on the French Navy; 〃Histoire de la marine Francaise〃。
  More and more the novel appealed to his imagination and suited his gifts。
  His themes ranged from the fabulous to the strictly historical; and he
  became popular as a writer of romance and fictionized fact。  His plays;
  however; were persistent failures。  When he published 〃The Mysteries of
  Paris〃; his national fame was assured; and with the writing of 〃The
  Wandering Jew〃 he achieved world…wide renown。  Then; at the height of his
  literary career; Eugene Sue was driven into exile after Louis Napoleon
  overthrew the Constitutional Government in a coup d'etat and had himself
  officially proclaimed Emperor Napoleon III。  The author of 〃The Wandering
  Jew〃 died in banishment five years later。

  Prologue。
  The Land's End of Two Worlds。
  The Arctic Ocean encircles with a belt of eternal ice the desert confines
  of Siberia and North Americathe uttermost limits of the Old and New
  worlds; separated by the narrow; channel; known as Behring's Straits。
  The last days of September have arrived。
  The equinox has brought with it darkness and Northern storms; and night
  will quickly close the short and dismal polar day。  The sky of a dull
  and leaden blue is faintly lighted by a sun without warmth; whose white
  disk; scarcely seen above the horizon; pales before the dazzling;
  brilliancy of the snow that covers; as far as the eyes can reach; the
  boundless steppes。
  To the North; this desert is bounded by a ragged coast; bristling with
  huge black rocks。
  At the base of this Titanic mass lied enchained the petrified ocean;
  whose spell…bound waves appear fired as vast ranges of ice mountains;
  their blue peaks fading away in the far…off frost smoke; or snow vapor。
  Between the twin…peaks of Cape East; the termination of Siberia; the
  sullen sea is seen to drive tall icebergs across a streak of dead green。
  There lies Behring's Straits。
  Opposite; and towering over the channel; rise the granite masses of Cape
  Prince of Wales; the headland of North America。
  These lonely latitudes do not belong to the habitable world; for the
  piercing cold shivers the stones; splits the trees; and causes the earth
  to burst asunder; which; throwing forth showers of icy spangles seems
  capable of enduring this solitude of frost and tempest; of famine and
  death。
  And yet; strange to say; footprints may be traced on the snow; covering
  these headlands on either side of Behring's Straits。
  On the American shore; the footprints are small and light; thus betraying
  the passage of a woman。
  She has been hastening up the rocky peak; whence the drifts of Siberia
  are visible。
  On the latter ground; footprints larger and deeper betoken the passing of
  a man。  He also was on his way to the Straits。
  It would seem that this man and woman had arrived here from opposite
  directions;
