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>
