Summary "The Wandering Jew — Volume 02" by Eugène Sue is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century, exploring themes of fate, suffering, and social injustice. The story continues the legendary tale of Ahasuerus, the Wandering Jew, who is cursed to roam the Earth until his redemption. The narrative intricately blends the lives of various characters brought together by their trials and tribulations, especially focusing on the descendants of the cursed Jew and the impacts of societal transitions. The opening of the book sets a dramatic scene, contrasting a serene landscape with the ominous signs of a spreading cholera epidemic, symbolic of both physical and societal decay. We meet the tormented protagonist, who reflects on his deep-seated regrets and the burden of his immortality while longing to reunite with the remnants of his family, scattered and in danger. The narrative introduces various characters poised at different locations, hinting at their interconnected fates. As the chapter unfolds, tension mounts with the introduction of a mysterious smuggler and the lurking danger posed by Thuggee assassins, drawing readers into a world fraught with peril and rich in emotional depth, as the protagonist grapples with his past and the relentless march of suffering that surrounds him.
