ZOLA, Emile.
Letter addressed to a critic. Paris, December 7, 1868. Autograph letter signed "Emile Zola", 1 p. in-8 (206 x 129). Emile Zola announces the publication of the ''terrible volume'' - Madeleine Férat - the novel adapted from a refused play. My dear fellow-member, Here is the terrible volume which was almost never put on sale. The support I found in the press has finally given Lacroix some courage. I hope that we will not be worried. [...] The very dark story of Madeleine Férat's destiny was originally a play: faced with the impossibility of having it performed, Émile Zola turned it into a novel, the publication of which he announced to a journalist from L'Illustration who had undertaken to write a review. "I thank you for your prowess", the writer told him in a comical way.
