Precious copy from Gérard Bauër (1888-1967), member of the Académie Goncourt, enriched with 3 beautiful autograph letters signed by Émile Zola addressed to the journalist Henry Bauër (1851-1915), dated December 12, 1881 and May 8 and May 20, 1892, 4 pages and a half, about articles: - "You speak of Thérèse Raquin too kindly, and I remain a little confused and very touched, as I have not been spoiled for my plays until now" (December 12, 1881), - Your article has given me great pleasure, with its beautiful warmth of literary sympathy. You said what I want to be said, that I have been fighting for the truth for a long time, and that I have done my work without worrying about success" (May 8, 1892), - Your article has just given me great joy, for it not only confirms a triumph that remains somewhat dubious for me, it proves to me that one is always right to fight the good fight, since one is always sure to find on one's side a champion such as yourself" (May 20, 1892). Corresponding envelopes enclosed. The copy is also enriched with an article by Henry Bauër on the play Thérèse Raquin, as well as two letters of thanks, one signed by Suffel, the other autograph and signed by Julien Cain, on the letterhead of the Bibliothèque nationale, addressed to Gérard Bauër, both dated March 17, 1953.
