1888NY4<p><strong> HISTORY OF PUBLISHING </strong><strong>– NATURALISM – EMILE ZOLA </strong></p><p><strong> UNPUBLISHED CORRESPONDENCE OF GEORGES CHARPENTIER </strong></p><p>-</p><p>CHARPENTIER Georges</p><p><strong><em>35 autograph letters from the publisher Georges Charpentier to Eugène Fasquelle</em></strong><strong><em> about literary & editorial affairs Emile Zola & various writers</em></strong></p><p>Paris 1888 to 1892. 129 pp. autographs various formats</p><p><strong>Georges Charpentier 1846 - 1905 was a publisher who became known as a champion of naturalist writers especially Émile Zola Alphonse Daudet Gustave Flaubert and Guy de Maupassant.</strong> He also promoted Impressionist painters. Eugène Fasquelle the recipient of the letters also a famous publisher was at this time the associate of Charpentier – and soon his successor. <strong>In these letters it is frequently question of Zola flagship author of the house.</strong> For example : <em>"I am not of the opinion to publish the </em>Soirées de Médan<em> in fascicules. It seems to me that it is a very bad way of publication" ;</em> <em>"I have received a letter from Zola but he does not speak to me about the </em>Vœu d'une morte".<em> "<strong>He is working hard on </strong></em><strong>La Bête Humaine<em> and we will appear in volume in the first days of January</em></strong><em>. It will still be a good deal."</em> Many letters concern the choice of illustrators for books – as <em>Le Rêve</em> de Zola. <strong>There is also talk of exchanges with foreign publishers: for example Charpentier mentions a meeting with the representative of Cassell & Co of New York.</strong></p>
