Vintage hardbacks reminiscent of the Victorian Era gold gilt beautiful covers and folio sizes. Beautiful cloth covers and gold work. Over 1500 pages between the 2 volumes. A Rare, OUT OF PRINT 2 volume set. A controversial book even at the time of its initial publication, it is apparent why it will not be printed in our times. A literary work, however, is part of everyone's literary heritage, and this volume is offered for the sake of preservation and posterity. This title is among banned books in many countries, at the very least for its controversial title. Plot Summary: "Two figures cry out to each other across the Bering Straits. One is the Wandering Jew, the other his sister, Hérodiade. Wherever the Wandering Jew goes, the cholera epidemic follows in his wake.The siblings are condemned to wander the earth until the entire Rennepont family has disappeared from the earth, as Hérodiade's descendants are also the descendants of Marius de Rennepont, Huguenots persecuted under Louis XIV by the Jesuits. The siblings are compelled to eternally protect that family.The Renneponts, meanwhile, are unaware that their protectors exist." Free Shipping in all of Continental United States.
