Gérard de Nerval Signed Autographed Letter Travel in the Orient

  
Gérard de Nerval (1808 - 1855), French poet. Signed autograph letter to the publisher Hippolyte Souverain. [Paris, June-July 1850]; 1 page in-8°. The letter is about the new edition of the Scenes of Oriental Life published for the first time in 1848 by the publisher Sartorius. The two volumes will be taken over by the publisher Souverain in 1850.

That year marks the completion of his travel narratives, which he will release the following year under the title "Journey to the Orient." Nerval starts by complaining about the delay in the publication of "Nicolas's Confidences" in the Revue des Deux (published in serial during the summer of 1850, they will be republished in volume in The Illuminated in 1852): "I have been delayed another 15 days because of a new story by Mérimée. If you need the money, I would ask Buloz who owes me a lot since I have 50 pages printed and forty more done and I only owe him 260 francs. If you can wait, I would prefer that so as not to bother him, but in case it is delayed again, I promise to give it to him on the 15th without fail. Moreover, Sartorius is coming in four to five days according to what he writes.

I will try to come see you tomorrow (.) I have placed a good advertisement in the review, now that I have more time I will take care of it. I will have an article in Le Siècle.
