Who was Eugène Sue?
Joseph Marie Eugène Sue was a French novelist.
He was born in Paris, the son of a distinguished surgeon in Napoleon's army, and is said to have had the Empress Joséphine for godmother. Sue himself acted as surgeon both in the Spanish campaign undertaken by France in 1823 and at the Battle of Navarino (1828). In 1829 his father's death put him in possession of a considerable fortune, and he settled in Paris.
A street in Paris is named for Eugene Sue, in the 18th Arrondissement: Rue Eugene Sue is located near the Marcadet-Poissonniers Metro station, and is not far from Montmartre and the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur.
A street in Mexico City, Calle Eugenio Sue, in the Polanco neighborhood, is also named for Sue.
