First published in France in 1867, Manette Salomon is considered one of the classics of the art-in-fiction genre, if not the classic. Yet as far as we can tell, it has never before been published in English. It came twenty years before Zola's well known work, The Masterpiece (L'Oeuvre) and in fact at the time, the de Goncourts felt Zola's story too closely followed their own.

Project Notes:
This work is believed to be in the public domain. It was written in French and rather than an author, the project team for this book will need to be centered around a strong translator.
