"The Pocket Bible; or, Christian the Printer: A Tale of the Sixteenth Century" by Eugene Sue is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the tumultuous period of the Religious Reformation, focusing on the life of Christian Lebrenn, a printer, and the socio-political challenges he faces in a rapidly changing Paris. The narrative intertwines themes of faith, moral struggles, and the impact of fanaticism on family relationships. The opening of the novel introduces the difficult circumstances surrounding Christian and his family as they navigate daily life amid increasing crime and moral decay in Paris during 1534. Christian suspects that his son Hervé may have stolen money intended for his daughter's dowry, leading to tension and despair within the family. The conversation between Christian and his wife, Bridget, reveals their anxiety over Hervé's change in behavior and the influences of religious fanaticism. As they grapple with their fears and suspicions, the story sets a stage rich with conflict, personal struggle, and the weight of societal expectations, challenging readers to contemplate the themes of faith, guilt, and redemption.
