Journal des Goncourt (Troisième volume) by Edmond de Goncourt and Jules de Goncourt

"Journal des Goncourt (Troisième volume)" by Edmond de Goncourt and Jules de Goncourt is a diary written collaboratively from 1850 to 1896. This unfiltered chronicle captures the bitter rivalries and complicated friendships of Parisian literary and artistic life. Written through "dual dictation" late at night, the brothers recorded conversations, gossip, and their own disappointments with remarkable candor. Their unflinching portraits of friends like Zola, Flaubert, and Daudet—often critical and backbiting—strained relationships and sparked controversy upon publication, revealing a world where café gatherings became battlegrounds for literary status.
