Foreign Literature

Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Autograph letter dated and signed by Eugène Labiche (27 lines in black ink) addressed to journalist and librettist Philippe Gille about the theatrical adaptation of Emile Zola's l'Assommoir.
Fold marks inherent to mailing, envelope included. Eugène Labiche's monogram being stamped in blind at the head of the letter.
In 1879, two years after its publication as a novel, l'Assommoir was adapted for the theater by William Busnach and Octave Gastineau, aided by Emile Zola.
Eugène Labiche and Philippe Gille seem to have participated in the creation of the play: "... je n'ai pas vu l'assommoir et j'ignorais que notre monologue y ait été introduit. Je suis absolument de votre avis, il ne faut pas le mettre. La bande à Zola pousserait des cris de blaireaux..." and prefer to temper their collaboration: "Nous verrons plus tard s'il faut ajouter quelque chose pour Brasseur, mais il faudra être très discrets, Brasseur s'impose un peu trop au public.."
His theatrical torments are fortunately attenuated by the presence at his side of his friend Emile Augier and his wife: "... ce sont de charmants compagnons. Quant il pleut nous fesons des whists échevelés et nous ne parlons pas plus théâtre que si nous étions deux quincailliers retirés..."
