The Wandering Jew's Daughter

Throughout the ages, immortals have battled fiercely, until the daughter of one of them falls in love with a young French nobleman. "The Wandering Jew's Daughter (1863) 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.
