Description
The Mémoires de la vie littéraire by the brothers Edmond and Jules de Goncourt, major figures of 19th-century French Naturalism, offer a precious and intimate account of the literary and artistic world of their time. Written as chronicles, portraits and anecdotes, this work provides a vivid insight into the literary salons, rivalries, successes and foibles of the authors and artists of the day. Published posthumously in 1892, this text, part essay and part journal, is often regarded as a standalone work within the Goncourts’ literary legacy.
The copy offered here, in its original edition, presents a physical state consistent with its period of publication, with the typographical characteristics and traces of use expected of a book from this era.
