BALZAC, Honoré de (1799-1850), écrivain français.
L.A.S. "De Balzac", to the publisher Charles Gosselin. [Early 1833]. 2 pp. ½ in-12. Trace d'onglet. About the edition of his novel Louis Lambert. "...am angry at the hassle L. Lambert has caused you. I won't respond to your last comments, because it would be endless and if I feel strongly about the things that hurt me, I can sometimes forget them too. I have the honour to warn you that I will send, out of the 125 examples. pap. mécanique, a copy to the following people so that there will be no duplication with your distributions. MM Nizard - Béquet - Pichot - Mévil - Ballanche - Philippon - de Briant - A. Berthier - Cazalès - Nodier - (Coste - O'Reilly au Temps) - Mame, 2 in Besançon - Charles - Rabou and that I will send to all the provincial gazettes. I undertake to support the continuation of this operation as you wish, and, please do not forget the announcements in the Quotidienne and the Gazette. As for the answer you were expecting from Mr. Surville, I am surprised that it did not come, because I answered Mr. Surville on your proposals in a satisfactory manner, but I know he is very busy. ...] Madame Balzac, my mother, does not have a copy of Volume IV of the philosophical tales and novels. Will you send me one and tell me what you have to say about it? Charles Gosselin (1793-1859) was the publisher of Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac. In 1832, he published Louis Lambert, a novel in the Philosophical Studies of La Comédie Humaine (along with La Peau de chagrin or Le Chef d'oeuvre inconnu).
