About the author

From Wikipedia:

Joseph Marie Eugène Sue (20 January 1804 – 3 August 1857) 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 Poissonnière Metro station, and is not far from Montmartre and the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur.

There's a beautiful beginning at the Strait of Bering;a man on the Siberian side and a woman on the American side...can they see each other?...
and an Aurora Borealis happening.

[Angel Serrano]

Una intriga en el corazón de Francia pinta a los jesuitas como los grandes conspiradores para apropiarse de todo tipo de riquezas y a los honrados soldados, artesanos y costureras como la única esperanza para salvar el mundo.
