Emile ZOLA Autographed Letter Signed Rougon Macquart The Doctor Pascal

  
Emile ZOLA - Signed autograph letter - Rougon-Macquart "The Doctor Pascal" - 1892. Author of the satirical and political fresco of the Rougon-Macquart (20 novels). Signed autograph letter addressed to the director of the Weekly Review, Médan, June 22, 1892, 2 pages on double sheet in 8. Regarding his 20th and final volume of the Rougon-Macquart, "The Doctor Pascal". Zola meticulously organizes the sale and publication conditions of this novel by the Weekly Review, conceived from the creation of the series as its centerpiece. "The Doctor Pascal" is the centerpiece of Zola's fresco, placing the conception of this novel from the creation of the series: "I have always wanted to finish with a sort of summary, where the scientific and philosophical idea of the whole would be clearly indicated. It is about the notes, the documents that the doctor gathers about his family; and these documents play an important role, are like the very pivot of the work that I am writing. This last novel is indeed the knot that stops the chain of the other nineteen.

I have tried to end simply and greatly." The novel was published by the Weekly Review from March 18, 1893 to June 17, 1893.] We therefore agree on the price of 35,000 francs. As another condition, I simply wish for the Review to commit to publishing the novel within a period of no more than four months.

I will notify two months in advance of the exact date on which I would like the publication to begin; and it will hardly be before January, maybe later. Finally, do you think six weeks are sufficient as a deadline, between the end of the publication in the Review and the beginning of the first reproduction? Please write me a letter in which these different points will be finalized; I will respond, and we will be in order [.
