Extraordinary letter to Zola Flaubert. \Exactly, my dear Flaubert, jallais write you to ask from you, when i received your kind letter.
Maupassant who came to spend the day Sunday at home. His young men, that your health was good, the work was going well, but business was bad. And I wanted to at least send you a handshake. It must be put to the wall, to get a clear answer.
You were wrong not to require any on him a formal commitment. When a case does not please him, he drags you until you grow weary you. On the other hand, the refusal of dalloz does not surprise me. His shop is full of enemies and shakers. It is unfortunate that we not nayons a review to us, and who has money.
Yet, when you are in Paris. It seems impossible that you can not find a newspaper to publish your fairyland. If you'll give yourself the trouble seek a den. We will help you all.
I havent moved from here. I'm still in the middle of. I havent three chapters sixteen. The great difficulty, this is that book Devil continuously proceeds by large scenes by tables or move twenty to thirty characters - the first performances, parties, dinners, scenes from backstage, and I have to drive all the world , make them act and speak in mass, still bE clear, which is often a sacred task, finally, I am not unhappy.I think this is very steep and very good man at once. My ambition is to show the mess whores quietly paternally. I will not be ready for another year.
As for lassommoir drama, I do not believe that it happens before the middle of January. We have not yet been able to find gervaise, it will eventually take the first woman. Other roles are distributed badly. Dailleurs jai formally refused dassister rehearsals to ignore me as possible to adventure. Jirai just five or six rehearsals.
There will be beautiful scenery, I saw the models. Maybe do we will pick a success, which I would be happy to.
You enter quau middle of February, I will be in Paris a month before you; because I intend to leave médan 10 January. My house will be covered. Dailleurs, in April, I intend to return here to give a good push. I am still very troubled by the idea of doing theater. I just read augier, Dumas, labiche, and really there is a beautiful place to take off two, if not the top two. I wrote to my goncourt who not respond.The young people learned that he worked mount closes his novel of two clowns; he wants to be ready in May. As for daudet it would be suffering and sad. We all need to see us home. When you are not there, our center we lack. I write to you on my return to Paris, to give you news of.
Until then good luck and good work, my friend. This will comfort you, if you have troubles. When work on, everything works. Nen and you are no less a very great writer, father of us all.
Even if one bothers you. My wife sends her vivid friendships. I love you very much, but let me not believe in the word. What WHEN IT laura held.

Flaubert crossed meanwhile some vicissitudes. Indeed, the carpenter editor then not followed up on its proposal for a deluxe edition of St.
Zola also will try to find a newspaper to publish the magic of Flaubert - the castle of hearts. Nana will be the second great work that will mark the series of rougon-macquart appeared in 1880 and finally sit the notoriety of the writer. Flaubert wrote to him about this: I spent all day yesterday until 11 1/2 in the evening to read chick - I did not sleep that night & I remain stupid. If we had to write down everything therein rare & strong, I would comment on every page! The kind words abound; and the end, girl's death, is Michelangelo!
