Summary "The Mysteries of Paris" by Eugène Sue is a serialized novel written in the early 19th century. The story delves into the underbelly of Parisian society, exploring themes of crime, poverty, and survival through a cast of colorful characters. The narrative prominently features the mysterious and heroic figure of Rodolph, a man with a concealed past who becomes entwined with the lives of downtrodden individuals like La Goualeuse, a young girl struggling to escape her grim reality. At the start of the novel, the scene is set on a rainy night in Paris, where a man, later revealed as Rodolph, intervenes to help La Goualeuse from a menacing character known as the Chourineur. Their encounter unfolds in the dark streets of the Cité, a notorious area rife with crime and desperation. As Rodolph displays formidable strength in defending La Goualeuse, a sense of camaraderie begins to form between the two. The opening chapters intricately depict a grim reality filled with threats, struggles for survival, and the early formation of unlikely alliances, leaving the reader intrigued by the characters' fates and the secrets that surround them.
