# Journal des Goncourt (Troisième série, premier volume)

_Mémoires de la vie littéraire_

By Edmond de Goncourt and Jules de Goncourt.

"Journal des Goncourt (Troisième série, premier volume)" by Goncourt and Goncourt is a diary written between 1850 and 1896. Brothers Edmond and Jules de Goncourt chronicle the bitter rivalries and fragile friendships of literary Paris through candid observations recorded late at night. Their unflinching portraits of famous contemporaries—including Flaubert, Zola, and Daudet—reveal jealousies, borrowed ideas, and disappointments. After Jules's death from syphilis, Edmond continues alone, documenting war and siege. This uncensored chronicle of artistic life sparked outrage and strained friendships when published.
