ref. Zola11ZOLA Émile 1840-1902 Autograph letter signed " Emile Zola " to Albert Lacroix Paris 13 September 1867 2 pp. in-8° in black ink letterhead of the Librairie Internationale " Zola " annotation from period and in black ink from another hand small gaps in the lower margin affecting a letter slits in the folds discreet repairs with Japan paper A remarkable letter from the very young Zola a few weeks before the launch of Thérèse Raquin the first novel that made him famous to the general public – Expressing a pressing financial need the writer nevertheless cherishes high ambitions for the success of his work It is in this very same letter that Zola first announces the final title of the book " Cher Monsieur Si je ne vous ai pas envoyé les numéros de L'Artiste¹ qui contiennent mon roman c'est que M. Guérin employé de la Librairie Internationale m'avait assuré que vous deviez avoir ces numéros à Bruxelles. Aujourd'hui encore il me dit que votre maison de Paris vous les enverra si vous ne les avez pas. Donc je ne m'inquiète pas de ce détail. Quant au titre il sera d'autant meilleur selon moi qu'il sera plus simple. L'œuvre s'intitule dans L'Artiste : Un Mariage d'amour mais je compte changer cela et mettre : Thérèse Raquin le nom de l'héroïne. Je crois que le temps des titres abracadabrants est fini et que le public n'a plus aucune confiance dans les enseignes. D'ailleurs la question du titre n'en sera pas une. Je vous avoue que j'ai besoin d'argent et que je préférerai vous vendre la propriété de l'œuvre pour un certain nombre d'années si vous croyez pouvoir m'offrir une somme raisonnable. Dans le cas où vous ne voudriez pas acheter l'œuvre je vous demanderais le douze pour cent sur le prix fort payable le jour de la mise en vente. Je tiens surtout à éviter les ennuis qui se sont produits au sujet de La Confession de Claude son deuxième ouvrage publié également chez Lacroix deux ans auparavant. Il est préférable que la question argent soit réglée sur-le-champ entre nous sans avoir besoin de recourir plus tard à des inventaires. Veuillez chez Monsieur me donner une réponse définitive au plus tôt. Je tiens à ce que ce livre paraisse en octobre. Prenez connaissance de l'œuvre laissez-moi choisir un titre bien simple² et faites-moi à votre tour vos conditions. Dites-moi combien vous me donneriez pour la propriété de l'œuvre pendant un nombre fixé d'années. L'affaire peut être conclue en quelques jours et c'est ce que je désire. En deux mots voici le sujet du roman : Camille et Thérèse deux jeunes époux introduisent Laurent dans leur intérieur. Laurent devient l'amant de Thérèse et tous deux poussés par la passion noient Camille pour se marier et goûter les joies d'une union légitime. Le roman est l'étude de cette union accomplie dans le meurtre ; les deux amants en arrivent à l'épouvante à la haine à la folie et ils rêvent l'un et l'autre de se débarrasser d'un complice. Au dénouement ils se suicident. L'œuvre est très dramatique très poignante et je compte sur un succès d'horreur. Une prompte réponse je vous prie. Votre dévoué Émile Zola " 1- Illustrated weekly magazine from 1831 to 1904 renowned for having published prints and quality writers. The novel originally titled Un Mariage d'amour had previously been serialized in the magazine. 2- On November 9 1867 A. Lacroix and Verboeckhoven booksellers-publishers informed Zola that they had given the proof to print the title and cover of Thérèse Raquin adding: "We have suppressed the word study 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. In any case this subtitle seemed useless to us; Isn't that your opinion too " The young Zola then 27 years old already gives us a glimpse of the confidence that would later be known for that of a writer who was quite certain of his work. He nevertheless remained in need which he explains here to Lacroix the latter being known among other things for having been the first publisher of Les Misérables. " I think the time for crazy headlines is over… " What is implied by Zola's choice to call the book Thérèse Raquin tends to erase the stage of serialization in L'Artiste. The writer flatters the publisher and therefore defines the "second birth" of the novel. 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. " The work is very dramatic very poignant and I'm counting on a horror success " 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. Thérèse Raquin was severely judged by the critics notably by Louis Ulbach who published in Le Figaro a violent article entitled "La littérature putrid". However it was a success and Zola became known to the general public. His career as a novelist was definitively launched… Bibliography: Correspondance t.

1893ref. ZOLA3ZOLA Emile 1840-1902 Autograph letter signed " Emile Zola " to a colleague Paris 12th November 1893 1 p. 1/2 in-8 Usual fold marks some tiny spots A very moving letter almost entirely unpublished written at the end of the Rougon-Macquart saga – Zola explains that he no longer owns his books once published and evokes with a superb metaphor what they represent years later. The writer expresses with relevance and sensitivity the distance he feels from his books once all published. This letter offers a more general reflection on the author's relationship to his work. " Mon cher confrère Je ne préfère aucune de mes œuvres. Dans chacune j'aime mieux certaines pages celles où j'ai dit nettement ce que je voulais dire : voilà tout. Lorsque j'ai terminé un livre et que je l'ai donné au public il n'existe plus pour moi. Toute ma passion tombe et j'en commence un autre pour lequel je me passionne jusqu'à ce qu'il soit aux autres. Il faut que je fasse un effort lorsque je veux me souvenir des romans hélas ! trop nombreux que j'ai écrits. Ce sont comme des tombes de parents et d'amis autrefois bien chers sur lesquelles il me serait trop triste d'aller m'attendrir. Cordialement à vous. Emile Zola " The Rougon-Macquart saga came to an end with the publication by Charpentier of Docteur Pascal in the spring of 1893. Among the most famous of the saga are Germinal Nana and L'Assommoir. A total of twenty novels were written and published between 1870 and 1893. Zola is probably responding here to a fellow journalist wishing to make an article on the whole saga and what it represents in the eyes of the novelist. A summary of the letter and the quotation of a sentence are published in Volume VIII of the correspondence from an extract from the catalogue: "They are like graves of relatives and friends …" – This comparison illustrates the sadness that emanates from the moving statement and what Zola's works represent for Zola himself. Personification of books or metonymy designating the characters to whom the author gave life the "tombs" of course refer to death. References: Extr. cat. libr. Charavay n° 6599 Corr. t.
