1893154344Paris Médan Monte Carlo and England: 1893-1902. A unique collection of letters by one of the landmark French writers of the 19th century An important group of letters from Émile Zola to his translator and friend Ernest Vizetelly son of Henry Vizetelly who was the first translator of his works. Over almost ten years and across a hundred handwritten pages Zola discusses the publications and translations of his works the reception and specificities of the English public his visit to London for the congress of specialists in 1893 his London exile at the publication of J'Accuse and the trial that followed. Zola sends his manuscripts to Vizetelly who takes on the role of agent seeing to contracts both with newspapers for the publication of serials and for the publication of translations. Though Zola repeatedly says that he is not concerned with money he nonetheless has his contract requirements. He trusts his friend entirely for his business in England but when American publishers are interested in the translations of his works negotiations seem tense at times: "As for the American affair I will tell you that the house Macmillan hurt me by his attitude at the time to Fécondité and I don't see why I will continue to interact with people of such a mind." He finally chose Doubleday noting that he received "1990 fr. 60 cent. for my part of copyright on your translation of Fécondité that the Doubleday house has just published in New York". He is also concerned about the reception of his works in England. On Docteur Pascal: "I'm going to get into Docteur Pascal which has nothing to do with Lourdes. It's an intimate passionate novel. It is to be the last volume of the Rougon-Macquart series. You can try to place the English translation in London. It will not offend the modesty of your compatriots." A little later he even authorizes his translator to modify "the passages which would seem worrying to you." He reiterates this authorization regarding the translation of Travail: "Travail will not frighten English modesty. It is at most if in a single scene a little lively you will have to extinguish the colors of the painting." He also assures his friend that Lourdes which Vizetelly cannot sell to a newspaper is not a "work of Catholic discussion" and that "the book can be put in the hands of young girls." England despite a little mockery is also important to Zola. He discovered it at the journalists' conference to which he was invited in 1893. He seemed rather anxious about the reception that the English press could give him: "I would like to know the importance of this congress and whether it will offer a great interest. You know my situation in London: I am still very much discussed almost denied and it seems to me that. the words I could say there would erase a lot of the misunderstanding." Zola's doubts would finally be unfounded and he returned from London delighted with the reception he received there and with the charm and immensity of the city. At the end of the collection are 39 original photographs taken by Zola at the time of his visit to London in 1893 or during his exile. Most of them bear indications of the places photographed on the back. Following the publication of J'Accuse and the trial which forced him into exile Zola chooses London. He discreetly mentions the piece which appeared in l'Aurore explaining to Vizetelly the delay in the publication of Paris on January 25 1898: "Tell Mr. Chatto that we will not put" Paris "on sale on February 10. It would be a great fault in the midst of the current hustle and bustle." He finally left France in July of the same year. The support of his now "dear colleague and friend" is essential in this difficult period: "My dear colleague and friend thank you for your good wishes on the anniversary of my birth. I am very touched in the sad emotion where I am. You write me good and just things that go straight to my heart. And I thank you on this day for the dedication and the discreet attentions that you have not ceased to have for me since the day I set foot in this land of exile."

From the Translator's Preface: "FRUITFULNESS is the first of a series of four works in which M. Zola proposes to embody what he considered to be the four cardinal principles of human life." Respectively Zola's Quatre Évangiles four gospels were to feature principal characters named Matthew Mark Luke and John. Zola finished only 3 of them: Fécondité 1899 tr. FRUITFULNESS 1900; Travail 1901 tr. LABOR 1901; and Vérité published posthumously 1903 tr. TRUTH 1903. The final book JUSTICE was not completed at the time of Zola's death in 1902 of carbon monoxide poisoning from a stopped-up chimney. Although nothing was ever proved many people believed he had been murdered. After all Zola had made plenty of enemies as a result of his role in France's notorious Dreyfus Affair. Alfred Dreyfus a Jewish army captain was convicted of espionage and sent to Devil's Island. In 1898 Zola risked his life and career in defense of Dreyfus by accusing the French government of anti-Semitism and wrongful imprisonment. The catalyst was Zola's letter "J'accuse" published on the front page of a Paris newspaper L'AURORE. Less than 6 weeks later Zola found himself convicted of libel sentenced and removed from the Legion of Honor. To avoid prison Zola had to temporarily flee to England. Dreyfus was eventually pardoned and in 1906 exonerated by the Supreme Court. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good condition/No jacket. 8vo. ix 487pp. Doubleday, Page & Co. Hardcover
