1882Best.-Nr. 79108Médan 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x 21.60 cm 1 page 1/2 sur un double feuillet - enveloppe jointe Autograph letter signed by Emile Zola - apparently unpublished - addressed to Léon Carbonnaux written in black ink on a double sheet.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
1898Best.-Nr. 86837Weybridge 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

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
