189384893Paris 1893. Fine. Paris 5 Avril 1893 13.50 x 20.50 cm une page et demie Autograph letter dated and signed by Emile Zola 23 lines in black ink on a page and a half addressed to press baron Arthur Meyer Folds inherent to postal delivery. Emile Zola intervenes with Arthur Meyer proprietor of the high-circulation newspaper ""Le Gaulois"" on behalf of his friend Louis de Robert: ""Vous sentirez comme moi que c'est un garçon d'avenir et je suis convaincu que vous l'utiliserez. Je le connais et je désire qu'il travaille."" ""You will feel as I do that he is a young man with a future and I am convinced that you will make use of him. I know him and I want him to work."" in whom he recognizes a talented writer: ""Me permettrez-vous de vous recommander un de mes jeunes confrères Louis de Robert dont j'ai lu les chroniques charmantes. Je crois que vous devriez l'encourager le mettre à l'essai car vous trouveriez en lui un excellent rédacteur pour ""Le Gaulois"".""

189386093Paris 1893. Fine. An appointment with Gilles de La Tourette Paris 15 octobre 1893 13.50 x 20.50 cm une page 1/4 sur un bifeuillet Autograph letter dated and signed by Emile Zola addressed to his friend the physician Maurice de Fleury dated in his hand October 15 1893. 1 page 1/4 19 lines in black ink on a double sheet. Horinzontal and vertical folds due to mailing. Stain on verso not affecting the text. A most unusual invitation from the master of Naturalism who wishes to organize a luncheon with two eminent specialists in nervous diseases: ""Vous êtes bien aimable de m'inviter à déjeuner. Mais cela va vous faire perdre du temps et à moi aussi . pourquoi ne prendriez-vous pas un rendez-vous pour deux heures et demie par exemple avec M. Gille de la Tourette soit jeudi soit vendredi. Nous irions chez lui simplement ."" ""You are very kind to invite me to lunch. But this will make you lose time and me as well . why wouldn't you make an appointment for two-thirty for example with M. Gille de la Tourette either Thursday or Friday. We would go to his place simply ."" Zola relied on the expertise and scientific knowledge of Maurice de Fleury a student of Charcot to nourish his writing work on the Rougon-Macquart. De Fleury particularly shared publications from his library relating to heredity a subject at the heart of Zola's great social series of novels - most particularly the generational transmission of nervous diseases fits of violence and alcoholism. Maurice de Fleury is also famous for having made ten years after this letter a medico-psychological study of Zola himself through the prism of his working habits: ""De dix heures à midi Zola rédige encore - moins facilement et moins bien que pendant l'heure initiale - et c'est fini pour toute la journée il ne sera plus bon qu'à écrire des lettres. C'est là la puissance du plus puissant cerveau dans le domaine littéraire à la fin du siècle. Avec ce tout petit traintrain modeste trois heures par jour en deux séances cet homme dont l'attention est modique . trouve moyen de nous donner tous les dix mois un de ces livres où ne manquent ni la solidité de la charpente . ni rien de ce qui constitue la force créatrice le génie pour dire le mot"" ""From ten o'clock to noon Zola still writes - less easily and less well than during the initial hour - and it's finished for the whole day he will only be good for writing letters. This is the power of the most powerful brain in the literary domain at the end of the century. With this very modest little routine three hours a day in two sessions this man whose attention is modest . manages to give us every ten months one of those books which lack neither the solidity of the framework . nor anything that constitutes creative force genius to say the word"". ""Maurice de Fleury maintained close relations with Émile Zola and Joris-Karl Huysmans with whom he corresponded in the years 1880-1890. Fervent admirer of the author of the Rougon-Macquart Fleury advised Zola for ""Le Docteur Pascal"" 1893 and confided his admiration in an article in Le Figaro in 1896.

189186092Paris 1891. Fine. Paris 22 octobre 1891 13.30 x 20.50 cm une page sur un bifeuillet Autograph letter dated and signed by Emile Zola addressed to his friend the physician Maurice de Fleury dated in his hand October 22 1891. 16 lines in black ink on one page. ""Mon cher de Fleury je crois bien que j'ai trouvé quelque chose pour le supplément du Figaro. Venez donc causer entre cinq et dix heures . Si vous étiez au Théâtre libre samedi soir je songe que nous pourrions en causer dans un entr'acte ce qui vous éviterait de vous déranger ."" ""My dear de Fleury I do believe I have found something for the Figaro supplement. Do come to chat between five and ten o'clock . If you were at the Théâtre Libre Saturday evening I think we could discuss it during an intermission which would save you the trouble of making a special trip ."". Fleury indeed held the medical column at Le Figaro - it is perhaps following this letter and their ""conversations"" that Fleury writes these lines in the supplement of October 31 1891: ""toute l'école naturaliste ayant fait de la médecine les médecins logiquement ont fait de la littérature"" ""the entire naturalist school having practiced medicine doctors logically have practiced literature"".

189491151Paris: Charpentier 1894. Fine. Charpentier Paris 1894 12.8 x 18.9 cm Relié First edition on ordinary paper. Bradel binding in chocolate-brown half shagreen smooth spine date gilt at the tail contemporary leather boards japonisants embossed and polychrome decorated with gilded and colorful floral motifs marbled paper endpapers and pastedowns original wrappers and restored spine preserved later binding. Exceptional presentation copy signed by Emile Zola: ""à Edmond de Goncourt son ami Emile Zola."" Below the presentation inscription a manuscript gift inscription by Edmond de Goncourt: ""Edmond de Goncourt à Pauline Zeller."" Goncourt had the privilege of hearing Zola speak on several occasions about his rediscovery of the miraculous city that inspired this very popular novel: ""Here he broke off to tell us that he had been to Lourdes where he had been impressed and amazed by that world of hallucinated believers and that there was something worthwhile to be written about that revival of faith which in his opinion was responsible for the mysticism to be found at the moment in literature and elsewhere."" Goncourt Journal 16 March 1892. ""I arrived at Lourdes in pouring rain and stopped at a hotel where all the good rooms were already taken. And I was in such a bad mood that I felt like leaving the next morning. But I went out for a while and the sight of all those sick people those poor wretches those dying children carried up to the statue those men and women lying prostrate in prayer. the sight of that city of faith born of the hallucinations of that little girl of fourteen the sight of that grotto those processions those stampeding crowds of peasants from Brittany and Anjou.'"" ibid. 26 July 1892. Despite the stylistic disagreements that set them apart Edmond nonetheless had the book he received from Zola bound in one of his famous Japanese-style bindings notoriously fragile at the joints this example has been expertly reinforced with half shagreen. These superb kami-kawa embossed leathers sometimes referred to as the cartonnages des Goncourt for having been introduced by the brothers into the world of Parisian bibliophiles are also the fruit of a fascinating and almost devotional encounter of the Goncourts with Japanese art. The copy was later presented by Edmond to the woman who had nearly become Madame Edmond de Goncourt: Pauline Zeller a cousin of Count Tolstoy whom he had met in the salon of Princess Mathilde. A compelling parallel may be drawn between the tale of two chaste destinies in Lourdes Pierre Froment and Elise Rouquet and that of young Pauline whose diary and account of her first love Edmond obtained in order to write his final novel Chérie.
