"Comment avez-vous pu vous laisser prendre à la plaisanterie imbécile du Panurge "" Very important autograph letter signed unpublished addressed to Léon Carbonnaux about the false publication of a pre-original of Au bonheur des Dames
Médan 1882. Fine. Médan 1er décembre 1882 13.60 x 21.40 cm 2 pages sur un double feuillet - enveloppe jointe Autograph letter signed by Emile Zola - apparently unpublished - written in black ink on a double sheet and addressed to Léon Carbonnaux department head at Bon Marché. Folds inherent to mailing. Envelope included. Only two letters from Léon Carbonnaux to Emile Zola are known: they can be consulted in the digitized preparatory file for Au bonheur des dames made available online by the Bibliothèque nationale de France. However we know from this same file which contains a long section entitled ""Notes Carbonnaux"" that this department head at Bon Marché provided Zola with a significant amount of information particularly about employee customs their remuneration and especially inventory techniques. The two men probably met when Emile Zola eager for information about the workings of department stores conducted field research in February and March 1882. Very important unpublished letter shedding new light on the pre-original publication of Au bonheur des dames. In his biography of Emile Zola Henri Mitterrand writes: ""Even before the novel was completed Zola gave an extract to Panurge in November; and on November 23 1882 Gil Blas announced its imminent publication in its columns."" Our letter discussing precisely this alleged pre-publication in Panurge attests that it was simply a joke and thus contradicts Henri Mitterrand: ""But your letter surprises and saddens me somewhat. How could you have been taken in by Panurge's stupid joke Did you not notice that the entire issue is a 'farce' Not one of the articles is authentic they are parodies and very poorly done ones at that."" Indeed reading the said extract cannot fool the assiduous reader of Zola despite the introduction that the journalists wrote: ""After Nana and Pot-Bouille those epics of elegant vice and bourgeois vice M. Emile Zola wanted to create one of honesty: Au bonheur des Dames which will appear shortly is a reassuring painting of innocence and virtue; the greatest success is assured for this new work whose characters move in the setting of a large novelty store; Parisian high commerce will not long await its observer and painter. We thank Emile Zola for having kindly cut out especially for Panurge a few pages from his still unpublished work and we are proud to give the public first an extract from this work of such high morality and such powerful interest."" Panurge no. 4 of October 22 1882 The sentences of this false Zolian text are exaggeratedly long and Panurge took the liberty of endowing the novel with a male main character Denis Mouret an amalgam of Denise the true heroine of the book to appear and Octave Mouret. One can think that it is a text composed from elements of Pot-Bouille the previous volume of Rougon Macquart where Octave - future owner of Bonheur des Dames - exercised the function of clerk before his meteoric social rise: ""For already more than two months he had been attached to the 'silks and furs' department; he arrived in the morning at seven o'clock to return home his day finished only at nine o'clock in the evening when all of Paris buzzed strangely with a feverish animation of pleasure and enjoyment and on his way back he followed gawking the great crowded boulevards where blazed the cafés full of girls and where on the asphalt at theater doors the crowd jostled with here and there in the vague rumor of trampling and pressing the roguish intonation of the cries of program vendors and ticket sellers."" Panurge In his letter of November 30 1882 Léon Carbonnaux - reading the extract from Panurge - had reproached Zola for his errors: ""Nowhere except at the Fabriques de France near Les Halles does one arrive at 7 a.m. It's at the earliest 7:30 but more often 8 a.m. and even then. There is no silk and fur counter at the Louvre. . It is so easy for you to be accurate that errors of this kind especially if t unknown

"je crois que c'est la fin du monde"" Autograph letter dated and signed in exile during the Dreyfus Affair
Weybridge 1898. Fine. In the midst of universal cowardice you wouldn't believe how moved I am to feel a few faithful people around me Weybridge 19 août 1898 13.50 x 20.50 cm quatre pages sur un bifeuillet Autograph letter signed by Emile Zola to Octave Mirbeau dated August 19 1898. Four pages in black ink on a bifolium written to Octave Mirbeau. Usual trace of horizontal fold. Published in Zola's uvres complètes t. XLIX ed. F. Bernouard 1927 p. 808. Exceptional testament of friendship and self-sacrifice from Emile Zola in exile after being sentenced to the maximum penalty for writing ""J'accuse!"" the most famous article proclaming Captain Dreyfus's innocence. After his historic article in L'Aurore Zola was sentenced a first time by a jury on February 23 1898 to one year's imprisonment and a fine of three thousand francs. The verdict was overturned and the case was referred back to the Versailles court of justice which upheld only three of the eight hundred lines in ""J'accuse!"" as a charge. Unwilling to accept such a stifling of the proceedings Zola's defense decided to default and the conviction was upheld. After his eventful exit from the courthouse Clémenceau and his lawyer Labori advised him to leave the country before the judgment could become enforceable. Zola left on the last train that evening with only a shirt hastily rolled up in newspaper as luggage. A month after his departure the writer writes this superb reply to a letter from his loyal supporter Octave Mirbeau who had written to him a few days earlier: ""We think only of you; there isn't a minute of our existence that you don't fill entirely"" August 14 1898. Settled in the London suburb of Weybridge he angrily receives the ""echoes of Paris"" and is enraged to see Esterhazy the true culprit of the Dreyfus Affair once again cleared - this time by civil courts. ""My dear friend Thank you for your kind letter . In the midst of universal cowardice you wouldn't believe how moved I am to feel a few faithful people around me. My existence here has become possible since I've been able to get back to work. Work has always comforted me saved me. But my poor hands are still trembling with a shiver that cannot end. You wouldn't believe the outrage I feel at the echoes from France that reach me. In the evening when daylight falls I think it's the end of the world. You think I should go back and make myself a prisoner without returning to Versailles. That would be too good to have the peace of prison and I don't think it's possible. I didn't set out to go back like that; our attitude would be neither logical nor beautiful. Rather I think I'm in indefinite exile unless I run the abominable risk of a new trial. Besides we won't be able to make up our minds until October. And by then who knows Although I'm counting on a miracle in which I have little faith. So let us be brave my friend and let our work be done! If I can keep working things won't be too bad yet. . I shake your hand my good friend the faithful and rare friend of bad days"". Poignant manuscript confession from Zola forced into exile. Death would strike him in the midst of his glory days without him ever knowing the outcome of the affair he had devoted so many years of struggle. unknown

"Je désire simplement toucher au sujet dans mon livre pour le besoin du petit drame commercial qui me sert de fable."" Autograph letter signed unpublished addressed to Léon Carbonnaux head of department at Le Bon Marché and advice for the writing of Au bonheur des Dames
Médan 1882. Fine. Médan 23 juin 1882 13.40 x 21.60 cm 1 page 1/2 sur un double feuillet - enveloppe jointe Autograph letter signed by Emile Zola - apparently unpublished - addressed to Léon Carbonnaux written in black ink on a double sheet. Folds inherent to mailing. Envelope included. Important testimony to the colossal documentation work and the capital role of Emile Zola's informants in depicting his immense natural and social fresco. This letter was sent to Léon Carbonnaux department head at Bon Marché who transmitted precious information to Emile Zola for the creation of the eleventh volume of the Rougon-Macquart series: Au Bonheur des Dames. Only two letters from Léon Carbonnaux to Emile Zola are known: they can be consulted in the digitization of the preparatory file for Bonheur des Dames made available online by the Bibliothèque nationale de France. However we know thanks to this same file which contains a long section entitled ""Notes Carbonnaux"" that this department head at Bon Marché provided a significant amount of information to Zola particularly about employee customs and their remuneration. The two men undoubtedly met when Emile Zola eager for information about the functioning of department stores conducted field research in February and March 1882. This response would therefore be the very first that the writer addressed to the department head in reply to his letter of June 19 1882. Far from imagining the keen success that this new novel would achieve Zola even seems to take it lightly: ""Je désire simplement toucher au sujet dans mon livre pour le besoin du petit drame commercial qui me sert de fable. Vos notes sont excellentes. . Enfin me voilà au travail. Le sujet est à la fois bien vaste - et bien ingrat pour un roman. On devra me tolérer un peu de fiction car il faut bien que je passionne la matière. Mais je tâche de m'en tenir le plus strictement possible à mes notes."" ""I simply wish to touch on the subject in my book for the needs of the little commercial drama that serves as my fable. Your notes are excellent. . Finally here I am at work. The subject is both very vast - and very thankless for a novel. One will have to tolerate a bit of fiction from me for I must make the material passionate. But I try to stick as strictly as possible to my notes."" It must be said that Carbonnaux takes his role as informant very much to heart and having no doubt about the book's success he writes: ""Dans le bâtiment chez nous d'ailleurs partout on attend votre livre. Les lecteurs ne vous manqueront pas. Soyez-en sûr. Vous n'en êtes plus à compter les succès celui-là s'annonce comme devant dépasser les autres."" letter of June 19 1882 For another work on the same subject has just appeared: ""J'ai lu le volume de Pierre Giffard. Il me paraît comme vous injuste et même faux dans plusieurs parties. C'est bâclé. Il aurait fallu pour un pareil ouvrage de documents purs une entière exactitude. Moi qui écris une uvre d'imagination je ne me permettrai pas de tels écarts."" ""I have read Pierre Giffard's volume. It seems to me like you unjust and even false in several parts. It is hastily done. For such a work of pure documents complete accuracy would have been necessary. I who write a work of imagination would not allow myself such deviations.""It was Carbonnaux who had pointed out the work to Zola: ""Pierre Giffard du Figaro vient de faire paraître chez Havard un vol de 300 pages intitulé « Les Grands bazars de Paris ». . On sait que le Figaro est inféodé au Louvre magasin concurrent au Bon Marché & on peut assurer que ce livre a été commandé et bâclé dès que votre intention de traiter le même sujet a été connue. . Il fallait déguiser un peu la réclame pour le Louvre."" letter of June 19 1882 We can clearly see here how much department stores fascinate and we understand the immense success that this novel by Zola describing their advent and supremacy would achieve. unknown

"Je me suis exténué à faire sortir cette vérité de mon livre si l'on ne m'a pas compris la faute en est sans doute à moi."" Signed autograph letter addressed to Henry Fouquier about La Terre
Paris 1888. Fine. Paris 11 février 1888 13.20 x 20.50 cm 2 pages sur un double feuillet Autograph letter signed by Emile Zola addressed to Henry Fouquier written in black ink on a bifolium. Usual folds from mailing. This letter was transcribed in the complete correspondence of Emile Zola published by the CNRS and the Presses de l'Université de Montréal. A fine letter evoking La Terre and Tolstoy's The Power of Darkness. Henry Fouquier 1838-1900 was a literary critic and columnist for numerous newspapers. A close friend of Guy de Maupassant he supported Emile Zolas candidacy for the Académie française. This letter was written to him the day after the performance of Tolstoy's The Power of Darkness at the Théâtre-Libre. We have not found evidence of an article in which the journalist explicitly drew a parallel between the Russian drama and Zolas La Terre but Zola here addresses his thanks: « Merci mon cher Fouquier de ce que vous voulez bien dire de « la Terre » si attaquée. J'en suis touché vivement et croyez à toute ma gratitude. » It must be said that the fifteenth volume of the Rougon-Macquart cycle was harshly received unleashing passions from the moment of its serial publication in Gil Blas. On 18 August 1887 even before the conclusion of the novel was revealed to the public Le Figaro published the Manifeste des Cinq written by Paul Bonnetain J.-H. Rosny Lucien Descaves Paul Margueritte and Gustave Guiches. These young authors issued a severe verdict: « La Terre a paru. La déception a été profonde et douloureuse. Non seulement l'observation est superficielle les trucs démodés la narration commune et dépourvue de caractéristiques mais la note ordurière est exacerbée encore descendue à des saletés si basses que par instants on se croirait devant un recueil de scatologie : le Maître est descendu au fond de l'immondice. . Nous répudions ces bonshommes de rhétorique zoliste ces silhouettes énormes surhumaines et biscornues dénuées de complication jetées brutalement en masses lourdes dans des milieux aperçus au hasard des portières d'express. De cette dernière uvre du grand cerveau qui lança L'Assommoir sur le monde de cette Terre bâtarde nous nous éloignons résolument mais non sans tristesse. Il nous poigne de repousser l'homme que nous avons trop fervemment aimé. » Zola who had been developing the idea of a peasant novel for a decade was deeply affected. Though he never responded publicly to these accusations his correspondence is strewn with clarifications about the work whose sheer brutality alone seemed to occupy readers minds: « Mais vous ajoutez que notre thèse à Tolstoï et à moi est la même et peut se résumer en ceci : le travail de la terre est corrupteur. Tolstoï il me semble protesterait bien haut et quant à moi je vous affirme que je n'ai jamais voulu prouver une telle chose radicalement fausse à mon avis. Ce que je pense c'est que la petite propriété telle qu'elle existe chez nous c'est que la suite de faits sociaux qui ont abouti à notre forme sociale nous ont donné notre paysan d'aujourd'hui avec ses qualités et ses vices. Notre paysan est le prisonnier de sa terre et non l'homme libre qu'il devrait être. Comment voulez-vous qu'il n'y étouffe pas dans son ignorance et sa passion unique Labourer est très sain mais à la condition qu'on sera le maître de son champ au lieu d'en être le forçat. Je me suis exténué à faire sortir cette vérité de mon livre si l'on ne m'a pas compris la faute en est sans doute à moi. » A remarkable letter from the master of Naturalism shedding new light on one of the most brutal volumes of the Rougon-Macquart series. unknown

"Je n'ai eu des nouvelles de Manet qu'indirectement par Duret. . On m'a dit que la déconfiture d'Hoschedé avait jeté la misère dans le camp impressionniste."" Signed autograph letter addressed to Louis-Edmond Duranty
L'Estaque - Marseille Marseille 1877. Fine. L'Estaque - Marseille Marseille 22 septembre 1877 13.30 x 20.80 cm 3 pages 1/2 sur un double feuillet Autograph letter signed by Emile Zola addressed to Louis-Edmond Duranty written in black ink on a double leaf. Some deletions and corrections; folds inherent to postal transmission. This letter has been transcribed in the complete correspondence of Emile Zola published by the CNRS and the Presses of the University of Montreal. Long letter evoking the heat wave at L'Estaque Une page d'amour and Edouard Manet. ""Il y a quatre mois que nous sommes ici et je vous avais promis de vous écrire. Mais j'ai tant travaillé et j'ai eu si chaud que vous m'excuserez de mon apparente paresse. Imaginez-vous que jusqu'au 15 août la température a été très agréable ; il faisait beaucoup moins chaud qu'à Paris et nous respirions chaque soir une brise de mer délicieuse. Puis voilà que brusquement lorsque je nous croyais hors de toutes mauvaises plaisanteries de la chaleur le thermomètre est monté à 40 degrés et s'y est maintenu nuit et jour. Nous avons ainsi passé deux semaines intolérables. Aujourd'hui la fraîcheur est revenue et nous allons rester jusqu'aux premiers jours de novembre pour jouir des charmes d'un bel automne."" ""We have been here for four months and I had promised to write to you. But I have worked so much and have been so hot that you will excuse my apparent laziness. Imagine that until August 15th the temperature was very pleasant; it was much less hot than in Paris and we breathed each evening a delicious sea breeze. Then suddenly when I thought we were safe from all the nasty tricks of the heat the thermometer rose to 40 degrees and stayed there night and day. We thus spent two unbearable weeks. Today the coolness has returned and we will stay until the first days of November to enjoy the charms of a beautiful autumn."" In this summer of 1877 Zola left the tumultuous capital for a five-month stay at L'Estaque ""banlieue de Marseille"" ""suburb of Marseille"" in the company of his wife Alexandrine and his mother Emilie Aubert. This long southern interlude reminded him of his youth in Aix: ""Je suis d'ailleurs enchanté de mon été. Les pays est splendide et me rappelle toute ma jeunesse."" ""I am moreover delighted with my summer. The country is splendid and reminds me of all my youth."" ""Pour finir avec moi j'ajouterai que j'ai travaillé vigoureusement à mon roman sans pourtant l'avancer autant que je l'aurais voulu. Ce roman doit paraître dans le Bien Public à partir du 14 novembre. J'en serai quitte pour donner encore un vigoureux coup de collier à Paris."" ""To finish with myself I will add that I have worked vigorously on my novel without however advancing it as much as I would have liked. This novel must appear in the Bien Public starting November 14th. I will have to give another vigorous push in Paris."" The new novel in question here is Une page d'amour whose plot and style contrast completely with the previous volume of the Rougon-Macquart: ""Je ne sais vraiment pas ce que vaut mon travail. J'ai voulu donner une note absolument opposée à celle de L'Assommoir ce qui me déroute parfois et me fait trouver mon roman bien gris. Mais je vais tout de même bravement mon chemin. Il faudra voir."" ""I really don't know what my work is worth. I wanted to give a note absolutely opposite to that of L'Assommoir which sometimes disconcerts me and makes me find my novel quite gray. But I am nonetheless bravely going my way. We will have to see."" But this ""page of love"" conceals another and during this stay in the Marseilles furnace Emile Zola was already thinking about the following volume: ""What is simmering in his southern pot is nothing less than a new bomb. Not Une page d'amour: 'it is a work too gentle to excite the public.' But Nana is already announced: 'I dream here of an extraordinary Nana. You will see that.' letter to Marguerite Charpentier of August 21 1877"" Henri Mitterrand Zola Even t unknown

"je souffre ici moralement intellectuellement dans l'impuissance d'agir"" Autograph letter dated and initialled in exile during the Dreyfus Affair
1898. Fine. ""The nervous and passionate man that I am is not made for exile for resignation and silence"" 15 décembre 1898 13.50 x 20.50 cm quatre pages sur un bifeuillet Autograph letter initialed by Emile Zola dated in his hand April 10 1898. Four pages in black ink on a bifolium addressed to Octave Mirbeau's wife. Horizontal fold mark inherent to mailing very rare and discrete foxing on the first leaf. A particularity of this exile correspondence Zola chose to omit his signature in his letters - or as here to initial only protecting himself from censorship or police investigations. Published in his Complete Works vol. XXV ed. F. Bernouard 1927 p. 820. Heart-wrenching letter by Zola written in complete exile the most unknown retreat the most absolute silence. The justiciar writer is secluded in England forced to leave Paris after being condemned to the maximum penalty for having written ""J'accuse!"" during these cruel hours. After his historic cry from the heart in l'Aurore Zola was condemned a first time by the Seine jury on February 23 1898 to one year in prison and three thousand francs fine. The judgment was annulled on appeal and the case was referred to the Versailles assizes which retained only three lines out of the eight hundred that ""J'accuse!"" contains as the charge. To not accept such a stifling of the debates Zola's defense decided to default and the condemnation was confirmed. The very evening of his tumultuous exit from the Palace of Justice Clémenceau and his lawyer Labori advised him to leave the country before the judgment could become executable. The writer struggles to bear this voluntary exile so contrary to his character and opens his heart in this missive he addresses to Mirbeau's wife who was for him unconditional support alongside her husband. He does not hide the feeling of guilt that gnaws at him and exposes his strategy: ""Dear Madam and friend what a good and comforting letter you wrote to me! I confess that I needed this cordial somewhat for the nervous and passionate man that I am is not made for exile for resignation and silence. You perfectly guessed that my torture is to be sheltered in too much peace and security while others are fighting. And you know that my resolution was taken to say nothing to anyone and to return one fine morning. Now here you are writing to me and you are not the only one everyone writes to me that I must stay where I am under penalty of unleashing the worst catastrophes. I don't believe it I confess I remain convinced that my project was brave even useful and that we would have been victorious once more. But faced with unanimous opinion I must bow. As I write to Labori this is the greatest sacrifice I have yet made to the cause for one cannot imagine all that I suffer here morally intellectually in the powerlessness to act in which I find myself. And I do not speak of my poor heart torn from all that it loved. As for leaving this country I will not even attempt it. All my suffering would be renewed. I have reflected on it at length all good reasons are that I stay where I am even if the affair must last months more. It seems to me that this is better for it would only be lacking that I go amuse myself in the sun while others are fighting. You already guess the articles of the vile press France sold to Italy for the thirty pieces of silver of Judas. Tell your husband how much I love and admire him. There he is thrown into action too and he behaves superbly in it. Thanks also to both of you for the affection with which you surround my dear wife devoting yourselves to our interests ensuring that she is not alone in Paris in the midst of battle. I am infinitely touched by your tenderness and it is one of my great consolations. I take the liberty of embracing you dear madam and friend and of also embracing your valiant husband with all my heart."" While his own camp forces him into exile events unfold in Fran unknown

"Je vais remercier infiniment le comte Joseph Primoli de l'amabilité qu'il a mise à vous adresser à moi"" Signed autograph letter addressed to Ugo Ojetti
s. l. Rome Rome 1894. Fine. s. l. Rome Rome Dimanche 4 novembre 1894 13.20 x 20.50 cm une page sur un double feuillet et une enveloppe Autograph letter signed by Emile Zola addressed to Ugo Ojetti. One page written in black ink on the first page of a double sheet. Folding inherent to postal transmission. Envelope included. This letter was addressed by the father of naturalism to journalist Ugo Ojetti when he had just arrived in Rome: ""Monsieur je vais remercier infiniment le comte Joseph Primoli de l'amabilité qu'il a mise à vous adresser à moi et je serai très heureux de vous recevoir si vous voulez bien me venir voir le soir qu'il vous plaira à six heures."" ""Sir I wish to thank Count Joseph Primoli infinitely for the kindness he has shown in directing you to me and I shall be very happy to receive you if you would be so good as to come and see me any evening that suits you at six o'clock."" Having arrived a few days earlier in the eternal city to conduct research for Rome Emile Zola hoped to meet Count Joseph Primoli there. The latter was unfortunately in Paris but he sent him this young journalist from La Tribuna who would serve as his guide but also as secretary. The two men clearly got along well and Zola even authorized Ojetti to adapt an opera libretto from his famous Nana. The project would unfortunately never come to fruition. Joseph Napoléon Count Primoli 1851-1927 was the great-great-nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. Very close to the imperial family under the Second Empire he subsequently remained faithful to the salon of his beloved aunt Princess Mathilde in her private mansion on rue de Berri. His refined and witty conversation worked wonders there and he met as a passionate bibliophile some of the greatest writers of his time: Gustave Flaubert Théophile Gautier the Goncourts and Guy de Maupassant. unknown

"Labori va tenter une démarche pour tâcher de rattraper les sept mille et quelques francs que vous avez versés en mon nom"" Autograph letter dated and signed to Octave Mirbeau
Paris 1901. Fine. ""I have finished my crushing task and I am going to rest a little because I am exhausted"" Paris 4 Mars 1901 13.50 x 20.50 cm deux pages sur un bifeuillet Autograph letter signed by Emile Zola addressed to Octave Mirbeau dated in his hand March 4 1901. Two pages in black ink on a bifolium. Horizontal fold mark inherent to postal delivery. Published in his Correspondence vol. X p. 242. Precious letter from Zola to his great supporter Octave Mirbeau who had paid his fine at the end of his second trial for ""J'accuse!"". Now amnestied the writer attempts - in vain - to recover the sum to reimburse him. After his historic cry from the heart in l'Aurore Zola was first condemned by the Seine jury on February 23 1898 to one year in prison and a three thousand franc fine. The judgment was overturned on appeal and the case was referred to the Versailles assizes which retained only three lines out of the eight hundred that make up ""J'accuse!"" as grounds for accusation. To avoid accepting such a stifling of the debates Zola's defense decided to default and the conviction was confirmed on July 18 - Zola left that very evening for London to avoid prison. The tribunal also demanded 7555 francs from him which Mirbeau spontaneously decided to pay from his own funds. It was also Octave Mirbeau who prevented the seizure of Zola's furniture by obtaining from Joseph Reinach the 40000 francs in damages that Zola had been condemned to pay to the three pseudo-experts in handwriting that he had ""defamed"" in J'accuse!. Following the amnesty law that ended judicial proceedings for ""all criminal or delictual acts connected to the Dreyfus affair"" Zola was acquitted but was not reimbursed. This letter attests to the writer's desire to compensate Mirbeau for his act of generosity: ""Labori his lawyer will attempt an approach to try to recover the seven thousand and some francs that you paid on my behalf for the Versailles affair. He simply wishes to have a letter from you in order to show it and thus be authorized to speak in your name. You certainly do not have down there the receipt that was issued to you. Perhaps you remember its terms. In any case if we must wait we will wait for nothing is urgent after all. The important thing today is only to test the ground to see if they will return the money to us"". However the prosecutor's office refused his request. Furious Zola wrote two days later a letter to Labori asking him to give up claiming the slightest cent - he published it in L'Aurore under the title ""Let them keep the money"": ""they torture the text of the law and the State too keeps the money. If the prosecutor's office persists in this interpretation it will be yet another monstrosity in the unworthy way they have refused me all justice . I do not want to be complicit by accepting anything whatsoever from their amnesty ."". According to Pierre Michel these unsuccessful recovery attempts of which this letter bears witness ""incited Zola to adopt an attitude that emphasizes even more his disinterestedness and that of his 'friend' who is not named in the L'Aurore article probably at Mirbeau's request."" Dreyfus's pardon and the amnesty of his supporters did not satisfy the writer but nevertheless marked the end of long years of struggle: ""I have finished my crushing task and I am going to rest a little because I am exhausted"". Struck down in full glory the following year he would not be able to witness Captain Dreyfus's rehabilitation. Beautiful lines from Zola to Mirbeau who gave him the means to continue his fight for justice. unknown

"Le sieur Grimm de Buda-Pesth est un simple voleur qui fait traduire mes romans au fur et à mesure de leur publication dans les journaux français sans autorisation aucune."" Signed autograph letter addressed to an unknown correspondent
Bénodet 1883. Fine. Bénodet 10 septembre 1883 13.20 x 20.30 cm 2 pages sur un double feuillet Signed autograph letter by Emile Zola - apparently unpublished - addressed to an unknown correspondent written in black ink on a double sheet. Folds inherent to mailing. Interesting letter relating the translation of Emile Zola's works and the legal disputes inherent to their clandestine distribution. This missive is visibly addressed to a correspondent considered for the German translation of La Joie de vivre: ""I would ask you to give me the promptest possible response regarding the translation of La Joie de vivre; for I am already receiving proposals from Germany and I would like to know where I stand."" In this autumn of 1883 Zola - though vacationing in Brittany - is very occupied with managing the translation of his works which he handles directly with publishers. We see here the determination with which he conducts negotiations: ""I repeat that I will only accept a fixed sum paid in advance. It is simpler and without possible surprises."" But things are not simple and Zola whose works already enjoy great success must fight against the clandestine publication of his novels. Completely overlooked by biographers the disputes with Hungarian publisher Gustav Grimm are nonetheless a leitmotif of Zolian correspondence: ""Monsieur Grimm of Budapest is a simple thief who has my novels translated as they are published in French newspapers without any authorization. Already the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna has sued him in my name. But it appears we have no treaty with Hungary. I await the signing of a treaty which they say is imminent."" Indeed Grimm had already published without Zola's authorization German translations of two novels: Nana 1881 and Pot-Bouille Der häusliche Herd 1882. These illegal publications discouraged German publishers Curt Busch and George Kuhr who very interested in distributing the novel to German-speaking readers declared forfeit. Gustav Grimm who finally agreed to respect commercial treaties won the battle and published the very first German translation of La Joie de vivre in 1889 under the title Die Lebensfreude. The man whom Zola here calls a ""simple thief"" would finally obtain authorization to distribute the German translation of the entirety of the twenty volumes of the Rougon-Macquart between 1892 and 1899. Interesting letter revealing the editorial mechanisms of the Rougon-Macquart and testifying to the ardor with which Zola conducted negotiations inherent to the translation of his great hereditary fresco. unknown

"Vous avez eu l'obligeance de me donner certains détails sur l'inventaire. Vous m'avez dit qu'on choisissait le premier dimanche d'août qu'on fermait les portes et que tous les employés s'y mettaient."" Autograph letter signed unpublished addressed to Léon Carbonnaux head of department at Le Bon Marché and advice for the writing of Au bonheur des Dames
Médan 1882. Fine. Médan 16 novembre 1882 13.60 x 21.40 cm 2 pages sur un double feuillet - enveloppe jointe Autograph letter signed by Emile Zola - apparently unpublished - addressed to Léon Carbonnaux written in black ink on a double sheet. Folds inherent to mailing. Envelope included. Important testimony to the colossal documentation work and the capital role of Emile Zola's informants in depicting his immense natural and social fresco. This letter was sent to Léon Carbonnaux department head at Bon Marché who transmitted precious information to Emile Zola for the creation of the eleventh volume of the Rougon-Macquart series: Au Bonheur des Dames. Only two letters from Léon Carbonnaux to Emile Zola are known: they can be consulted in the digitization of the preparatory file for Bonheur des Dames made available online by the Bibliothèque nationale de France. However we know thanks to this same file which contains a long section entitled ""Notes Carbonnaux"" that this department head at Bon Marché provided a significant amount of information to Zola particularly about employee customs and their remuneration. The two men undoubtedly met when Emile Zola eager for information about the functioning of department stores conducted field research in February and March 1882. ""J'ai pris l'inventaire comme cadre à un de mes chapitres. D'ailleurs je n'ai spécialement besoin que du travail dans le rayon des confections et dans le rayon des soieries. Il est inutile de me renseigner sur les autres rayons."" ""I have taken the inventory as the framework for one of my chapters. Moreover I specifically only need the work in the ready-to-wear department and in the silk department. It is unnecessary to inform me about the other departments."" Thanks to this important letter we understand that it was Léon Carbonnaux who provided the essential information to Emile Zola for writing his very beautiful eleventh chapter devoted to the inventory: ""Vous avez eu l'obligeance de me donner certains détails sur l'inventaire. Vous m'avez dit qu'on choisissait le premier dimanche d'août qu'on fermait les portes et que tous les employés s'y mettaient. On vide toutes les cases n'est-ce pas on jette les marchandises sur les comptoirs ou à terre et l'inventaire n'est terminé que lorsqu'il n'y a plus absolument rien en place."" ""You were kind enough to give me certain details about the inventory. You told me that the first Sunday in August was chosen that the doors were closed and all the employees set to work. All the compartments are emptied aren't they The merchandise is thrown onto the counters or on the ground and the inventory is only finished when there is absolutely nothing left in place.""The final version of Bonheur des Dames contains all the precious information provided by the department head of Bon Marché: ""Le premier dimanche d'août on faisait l'inventaire qui devait être terminé le soir même. Dès le matin comme un jour de semaine tous les employés étaient à leur poste et la besogne avait commencé les portes closes dans les magasins vides de clientes. . Neuf heures sonnaient. . Dans le magasin inondé de soleil par les grandes baies ouvertes le personnel enfermé venait de commencer l'inventaire. On avait retiré les boutons des portes des gens s'arrêtaient sur le trottoir regardant par les glaces étonnés de cette fermeture lorsqu'on distinguait à l'intérieur une activité extraordinaire. C'était d'un bout à l'autre des galeries du haut en bas des étages un piétinement d'employés des bras en l'air des paquets volant par-dessus les têtes ; et cela au milieu d'une tempête de cris de chiffres lancés dont la confusion montait et se brisait en un tapage assourdissant. Chacun des trente-neuf rayons faisait sa besogne à part sans s'inquiéter des rayons voisins. D'ailleurs on attaquait à peine les casiers il n'y avait encore par terre que quelques pièces d'étoffe. La machine devait s'échauffer si l'on voulait finir le soir même. unknown

The dust jacket is un-clipped with the original price intact on the front flap. The jacket comes with a clear protective sleeve - not shown. From the dust jacket: "This fine novel reveals an unfamiliar side of Zola's art but one no less likely to appeal to his new and already large following of readers in English.

Paris forms the background to the story the Paris landscape seen through the windows of Helene's room drawn at all hours and in all seasons in a series of unforgettable word-pictures. But Zola's mastery of atmosphere and description need no comment; what is most remarkable about this novel is his precise and sympathetic comprehension of the intricacies of the human heart."<br /><br />Condition:<br />Clean covers and spine.

Emile Zola
A Love Affair
Elek 1957. 1st UK thus. Hardback. Very good/Good. Introduced and translated by Jean Stewart. In a break from the bleak social realism that had preceded this is more of a psychological study that Zola himself found a little too trivial at times. Nonetheless it is held up as one of the classics of French literature. Included is a contemporary newspaper review by well-known English author Angus Wilson. There is some foxing to page and block edges; it opens a little loosely. The jacket has some loss to spine bottom and lower edge. Rear a little grubby. But not price clipped and largely intact in good presentable condition. Elek unknown

A precious complete set of proofs for the original edition of his masterpiece La Bête humaine the seventeenth volume in the Les Rougon-Macquart series.
<p><strong>ZOLA Emile 1840-1902</strong></p><p>Corrected proofs for his novel <em>The Beast within</em><br />Paris January 1890 45 proofs printed on recto<br />Very good overall condition except some slightly frayed margin on the first folios some browning</p><p><strong>A precious complete set of proofs for the original edition of his masterpiece <em>La Bête humaine</em> the seventeenth volume in the <em>Les Rougon-Macquart</em> series.</strong></p><p><strong><u>At the heart of the writer's creative process:</u></strong><strong> a total of 45 proof sheets with extensive autograph corrections in Zola's own hand.</strong></p><p><strong><u>One of the very rare Zolian relics still in private hands</u></strong></p><p><strong><em><u>La Bête humaine</u></em></strong><strong><u> in the Making</u></strong><br />The proof sheets in this set bear witness to the author's progress in writing his masterpiece. Émile Zola undertook a meticulous rereading of every line refining the style striking through passages and making corrections to achieve greater accuracy in tone and rhythm. As such the set is extensively annotated with the exception of proof sheets no. 35 to 38. The most substantial corrections appear on sheets no. 2 to 13 and no. 40 which correspond to Chapters I to IV and XI. Special attention was also paid to typography further evidence of the naturalist writer's thorough and exacting rereading.<br />Georges Charpentier added penciled notes on twenty-nine of the proof sheets along with two annotations instructing Zola to henceforth adhere to the paginated layout.</p><p><u>These proofs represent an intermediate stage between the manuscript and the published text as evidenced by certain excerpts:</u><br />– " Roubaud près de sa femme écoutait en fixant également sur elle des yeux vacillants. Il y eut une minute de mortelle angoisse " become " Près de sa femme Roubaud écoutait en fixant également sur elle ses gros yeux pâles " then in the final version " Près de sa femme Roubaud écoutait en fixant sur elle ses gros yeux vifs ".<br />– " Seulement ce matin-là Roubaud dut reprendre haleine comme si sa respiration lui manquait à la suite d'un saisissement inutile. Il hésitait il chercha avant de se rappeler ce que lui avait dit son collègue " become " Seulement ce matin-là Roubaud hésitant dut chercher avant de se rappeler ce que lui avait dit son collègue ".</p><p>Folio #40 includes an important addition of seventeen lines in which the author plays with the lyrical register. Love and death invite each other:<br /><em>" – Dis mon chéri pourquoi donc ai-je peur Sais-tu toi quelque chose qui me menace </em><br /><em>– Non non sois tranquille rien ne te menace. </em><br /><em>– C'est que tout mon corps tremble par moments. Il y a derrière moi un continuel danger que je ne vois pas mais que je sens bien… Pourquoi donc ai-je peur </em><br /><em>– Non non n'aie pas peur… Je t'aime je ne laisserai jamais personne te faire du mal… Vois comme cela est bon d'être ainsi l'un dans l'autre ! </em><br /><em>Il y eut un silence délicieux. " </em></p><p><strong><u>The novel<br /></u></strong><em>La Bête humaine</em> the seventeenth volume in the <em>Rougon-Macquart</em> saga was written between May 1889 and January 1890 and released in bookstores by Georges Charpentier during the first week of March 1890 following its serialization in the weekly magazine <em>La Vie populaire</em> from November 14 1889 to March 2 1890. Like <em>Germinal</em> 1885 it focuses on a facet of the industrial and working-class world of the late 19th century.<strong><br /></strong>In this judicial novel the main characters are murderers. Émile Zola wove together several real-life criminal cases likely including the infamous crimes of "Jack the Ripper" creating a bleak violent and monstrous tableau in which killings occur for motives as varied as greed jealousy or even hereditary madness. Through this narrative—and his exploration of remorse—Zola situates his work within contemporary debates on the moral and social meaning of crime. His writing was nourished by readings of <em>Crime and Punishment</em> by Dostoevsky in a French translation published in 1885 and criminological studies by Cesare Lombroso Prosper Lucas and Gabriel Tarde.<br />He also takes the opportunity to satirize a judiciary subservient to political power through the character of Judge Denizet. The judicial error he commits underscores the limits of justice as administered by men and the inherent fallibility of any rational method.<br />Readers were struck by the confrontation between tradition and modernity by the stunning fusion of primal instinct and technological advancement. The locomotive is endowed with human traits becoming a character in its own right—ultimately transformed into a tragic "blind and deaf beast loosed amid death."<br />Finally this lyrical element is enriched by a fantastical dimension as Henri Mitterrand explains: <em>" La Bête humaine</em> endures through its fantastical elements the intensity of its leitmotifs and rhythms and the perfection of certain passages—such as the final ones—where the extravagance of the action and the baroque modernity of the setting come together in astonishing harmony. <em>" </em></p><p><u>Literary relics of Émile Zola are extremely rare in private hands</u>. In accordance with the novelist's wishes his wife Alexandrine Zola entrusted nearly all of his manuscript materials to the nation in 1904. As a result the invaluable dossiers and a large portion of the corrected proofs for <em>Les Rougon-Macquart</em> and <em>Les Trois Villes</em> are now held by the Bibliothèque nationale de France BnF.</p><p>This set of proofs was unknown to Henri Mitterand when he prepared his edition of <em>La Bête humaine</em> for the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade Paris Gallimard NRF 1966; reissued in 2021.</p> Charpentier

Lacroix and Verboeckhoven booksellers-publishers informed Zola that they had given the proof to print the title and cover of <em>Thérèse Raquin</em> adding: "We have suppressed the word <em>study</em> which was in our opinion of the worst effect on the cover and which on the other hand could have harmed the volume in the sense that it might make people believe that your volume was an arid and too serious work and thereby alienate a whole class of readers.

This sense of the title which Zola was already refining at this time would later become one of his great talents giving decisive importance to this significant beginning.</p><p><u>" The work is very dramatic very poignant and I'm counting on a horror success "</u><br />By summarizing the story at the end of the letter Zola shows us that he is always very scrupulous in adapting to the recipient's preferences. He insists on the plot the dramatic scope the psychological dimension and finally the stylistic innovations. He makes hypotyposis his trademark at key moments. At that time Zola was the only standard-bearer of naturalism a literary movement that succeeded realism which he had exposed three years earlier in his famous missive to Anthony Valabrègue by means of the famous metaphor of the "trois écrans". Zola's reading effects are therefore data that can be easily converted into terms of editorial success.</p><p>Thérèse Raquin was severely judged by the critics notably by Louis Ulbach who published in <em>Le Figaro</em> a violent article entitled "La littérature putrid".

Personification of books or metonymy designating the characters to whom the author gave life the "<em>tombs</em>" of course refer to death.</p><p><u>References:</u> Extr. cat. libr.

Emile ZOLA
An important letter written juste a week after the release of Germinal and drawing up a panorama of some of the most emblematic works of the Rougon-Macquart saga
<p><strong>ZOLA Émile 1840-1902</strong></p><p>Autograph letter signed " Emile Zola " to Joseph Canqueteau<br />Paris 10th March 1885 2 p. in-8°<br />Small tears on folds some browning see scans</p><p><strong>An important letter written juste a week after the release of <em>Germinal</em> and drawing up a panorama of some of the most emblematic works of the <em>Rougon-Macquart</em> saga</strong></p><p><strong><u>From the</u></strong><u> <strong>B. & R. Broca</strong> <strong>collection</strong></u></p><p><em>" Merci cher monsieur de votre bonne sympathie. <strong>C'est en effet pour la jeunesse que j'écris et c'est par elle que je serai si je dois être. </strong></em><br /><strong><em>L'idée première de "Germinal" est déjà très lointaine. Lorsque j'ai écrit "l'Assommoir" j'avais réservé cette autre face du peuple l'ouvrier souffrant des grands centres industriels.</em></strong><em> Tous les romans de ma série ont été arrêtés à peu près en même temps et chacun d'eux vient simplement à son heure. </em><br /><strong><em>Je vais sans doute comme vous le supposez étudier maintenant le monde des artistes en reprenant mon Claude Lantier</em></strong> <em>L'Œuvre</em><em>. Mais le roman militaire celui où je compte mettre Sedan</em> <em>La Débâcle</em><em> est loin encore car il ne viendra guère que dans six ou sept ans : il est l'avant dernier de la série. </em><br /><em>Bien cordialement à vous<br />Emile Zola "</em></p><p>We know that even before writing the first of the twenty novels in his series Zola had drawn up as early as 1868 a family tree of his characters then a chronology of his novels. Initially planned in ten volumes the writer revised his ambitions upwards. There will be a total of twenty novels written between 1870 and 1893. This letter thus allows us to take the measure of the almost millimetric organization that the writer imposes on himself to the point of predicting with some precision "in six or seven years" the release of <em>La</em> <em>Débacle</em>. The penultimate volume of the series was indeed published in 1892.</p><p>A bohemian artist already present in <em>Le Ventre de Paris</em> but whose role is only minor Claude Lantier older brother of Etienne the hero of <em>Germinal</em> becomes the main protagonist in <em>L'Oeuvre</em>. A cursed painter whose features recall those of Paul Cézanne his fate is disastrous like that of his mother Gervaise Macquart in<em> L'Assommoir</em>. This fourteenth novel in the series was published by Charpentier the following year in 1886.</p><p>We know the letter that Joseph Canqueteau about to give a lecture on Les Rougon-Macquart addressed to Zola to ask him for some information who was right in his predictions: "We are here a meeting of young people who like you I assure you and know how to defend you on occasion. You have youth on your side dear master and that is a hard addition. We greatly appreciate the honor you have bestowed upon us by accepting the title of honorary member of our young conference. What a powerful book <em>Germinal</em> is! … I should be obliged to you dear master to tell me exactly at what time you had the idea of this vast social study Won't military life and artistic life be the subject of two future works ".</p><p><u>Provenance:</u><br />Collection B. & R. Broca</p><p><u>Bibliography:<br /></u><em>Correspondance</em> t. V éd. du CNRS p. 241-242 n°185</p>
