"The rays of sunlight passing over Lotte's diaphanous beauty lacked the power to color her whiteness. 'May God have pity on us!' stammered the nurse. 'She was like that when I saw her for the first time.' In a voice as sweet as a lullaby, Lotte murmured: 'My Father is coming.' " "The Wandering Jew's Daughter anticipates later developments in popular fiction, featuring an invulnerable but flawed hero who stops bullets and blades with his body and gives succor to the wounded. The book adds another item to an already-extensive catalogue of Féval's anticipations of modern mythology."-Brian Stableford. Paul Féval (1816-1887) was the author of numerous popular fantastic and crime novels such as Vampire City, The Vampire Countess, Knightshade and John Devil.
