From Wikipedia:

Joseph Marie EugÃ¨ne Sue (20 January 1804 â€� 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 JosÃ©phine 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 PoissonniÃ¨re Metro station, and is not far from Montmartre and the Basilica of the SacrÃ© Coeur. ...more

“Even these two luckier fragmentary translations, now surviving only as curios in a few libraries, attest the vehemence and concertedness of the effort to suppress this great gift of Sue's intellect to the human race. It will be thus no longer.”

“Et puis le beau rayon s'arrÃªtait Ã la surface du fleuve, s'y rÃ©flÃ©chissait, jouait un instant, sur des nÃ©nufars blancs, des campanules bleues, asiles parfumÃ©s et flottants d'une myriade d'insectes dont les corselets diaprÃ©s chatoyaient comme autant de rubis et d'Ã©meraudes. Enfin il s'Ã©teignait comme Ã regret, le beau rayon, en laissant sur la surface du fleuve une Ã©blouissante aurÃ©ole qui contrastait avec les ombres vertes et transparentes, projetÃ©es par l'Ã©paisseur des arbres de la rive.”
― EugÃ¨ne Sue, Atar-Gull
