"The Mysteries of Paris" by Eugene Sue is perhaps the most popular novel of the 19th century, which gave rise to many imitations and created a special trend in adventure literature. This genre of "crime fiction" includes such works as "Les Miserables" by Hugo, "The Hunchback" by Feval, "The Slums of Petersburg" by Krestovsky and many other famous novels (Umberto Eco published a list of forty novels that are direct imitation of "The Mysteries of Paris"). The book very realistically depicts the colorful, cruel, adventurous world of the Parisian underworld. Incredible adventures, unexpected plot twists, love affairs and colorful characters continue to excite readers today, and the number of film adaptations and theatrical productions of "The Mysteries of Paris" is impossible to count. The text is accompanied by numerous previously unpublished illustrations by the Italian artist Osvaldo Tofani (1849–1915).
