"The Mysteries of Paris, illustrated with etchings, Vol. 4" by Eugène Sue is a serial novel published between 1842 and 1843. This groundbreaking work follows the mysterious Rodolphe, secretly a German Grand Duke disguised as a Parisian worker, as he navigates all levels of society to restore justice and aid the downtrodden.
