At the heart of the writer’s creative process
Corrected proofs for his novel The Human Beast, the seventeenth volume in the series Les Rougon-Macquart; Paris, January 1890, 45 galley proofs printed on one side only, comprising 38 in plano, 5 in folio, and 2 in quarto. In excellent condition despite a few marginal frays to the upper edge of the first galleys and some occasional foxing. One of the very rare Zola relics still remaining in private hands.
