Paris, Bibliothèque-Charpentier. 1896. 51st thousand. Half red morocco by Riviere and Son preserving the original wrappers, top edge gilt. 8vo. pp. [iv], 447. Inscribed on the half-title: "à Ernest A.Vizetelli [sic] son dévoué confrère Emile Zola." The history between Zola and the Vizetelly family was important not just in its own right, of course, but also in the annals of English publishing. Ernest Vizetelly was a correspondent in Paris when his father Henry decided to publish Zola in English. Thinking that French Naturalism would be badly received by the English, Ernest was suprised by the success of the novels, writing, "There was at last some prospect of English people dropping the hypocrisy which had clung to them so long and looking unpleasant facts in the face." In 1887 Ernest returned to England and began working for the family firm. Initially he had little to do with Zola translations until he helped prepare "La Terre" for publication, "toning" it in his words. But his expurgations proved insufficient and Henry Vizetelly was fined in 1888 for publishing an obscenity. After the verdict Ernest went through the novels and modifed them for re-release. However, their opponents were still not satisfied and in 1889 Vizetelly was back in court and sentenced this time to prison. After Henry Vizetelly's death a strong sympathy sprang up between Zola and Ernest. A few years later, in a different climate, Ernest Vizetelly took Zola's interest in hand and with Chatto and Windus republished many of the novels, often with new introductions by Ernest. Their friendship had a practical benefit for Zola: it was to Ernest that he turned for assistance when he was forced into exile to England in 1898-9. Despite their long association, Zola had difficulties with Vizetelly's name, spelling it variously 'Vizitelly' and 'Vizetelli.' "La Joie de Vivre," the 12th in the Rougon-Macquart series, was first published by Vizetelly in 1886. It was re-issued, with an amended translation and an introduction by Ernest Vizetelly, as "The Joy of Life" in 1901 by Chatto and Windus. A fine copy.
Paris, Bibliothèque-Charpentier. 1897. 32nd thousand. Half red morocco by Riviere and Son preserving the original wrappers, top edge gilt. 8vo. pp. [iv], 385. Inscribed on the half-title: "à Ernest A.Vizitelli [sic] son dévoué confrère Emile Zola." With Ernest Vizetelly's signature on the upper wrapper. The history between Zola and the Vizetelly family was important not just in its own right, of course, but also in the annals of English publishing.

Despite their long association, Zola had difficulties with Vizetelly's name, spelling it variously 'Vizitelly' and 'Vizetelli.' "La Fortune des Rougon", the first in the Rougon-Macquart series, was published in an English translation by Vizetelly in 1886. It was re-issued, with an amended translation and an introduction by Ernest Vizetelly, by Chatto and Windus in 1898. A fine copy.
