Sue, Eugène

Japanese: シュー（英語表記）Sue， Eugène

Born: January 26, 1804, Paris
Died: August 3, 1857. Annecy, Haute-Savoie. French novelist. Real name Marie-Joseph Sue. He became a naval surgeon, but after being discharged in 1829, he began his literary career by writing maritime adventure novels. A socialist influenced by Proudhon, he portrayed the lives of the poor with warm sympathy through skillful plot development and vivid character and scene descriptions, and became the most widely read of his contemporaries. His masterpiece, Les mystères de Paris (1842-43), which depicts the slums of Paris, was a huge success as a newspaper serial novel, and influenced Hugo's Les Miserables. His other works include Le Juif errant (1944-45) and Les Sept Péchés capitaux (The Seven Deadly Sins) (1947-49).

Shoo
Shu

Ancient Egyptian god of the atmosphere, sky, and wind. Along with his twin sister Tefnut, he appears as the first married couple in the Heliopolis creation myth. His name means "the lifter," and when Geb and Nut were embracing each other, Shu lifted up the sky to separate them. From then on, the belly of Nut that Shu supported became the sky, where the stars shone, and vegetation grew on the earth. He was originally a lion god worshipped in the Delta region, a symbol of the hot winds of the desert. He wielded power as the successor to Re, but he became ill and was rebelled against by his followers, so he finally handed power over to his son Geb, and retired to the sky after a nine-day storm.
