ZOLA (Emile). Correspondence. Letters from his youth. Letters and the arts. Paris, Charpentier, 1907-1908. 2 vol. in-12 bound half-maroquin bleu nuit à coins, smooth spines with gilt title, original cover and spine preserved (period binding). Posthumous first edition, our copy, one of 50 on Hollande numbered, ff. untrimmed. This is an important publication of Zola's early correspondence, drawn up just a few years after his death (1902), at a time when the critical and memorial construction of the writer was already taking shape. These letters shed light on Zola's formative years, from his youth in Aix to his difficult beginnings in Paris. They reveal an intimate Zola, as yet unknown, confiding in his friends his literary ambitions, his material worries and his early intellectual struggles.
