ALS in French, one page, 5.25 x 8.5, April 13, 1878. Letter addressed to “My dear confrere.” In full (translated): “Here is my novel. I wanted to take it to you myself but I’m overwhelmed! Besides I need to talk to you about other matters and I’ll come disturb you some morning. I’m sending you the 1st volume that I’ve just received. I’ll have them send you good pages, if you want to do it piecemeal. The novel won’t be sold before Wednesday.” In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds, scattered toning, and a few creases and wrinkles.
In 1878, Une page d'amour was published in novel form after having been serialized for the previous five months in the regional newspaper Le Bein Public. It was the eighth installment in the Rougon-Macquart series, which illustrated how social conditions shape the human character. He continued to write more social commentary pieces, culminating twenty years later with his publication of a letter to French president Felix Faure on the front page of a newspaper with the title ‘J'accuse.’ It accused the French government of anti-Semitism and lead to the eventual exoneration of Alfred Dreyfus.
