Legacy
Edmond de Goncourt bequeathed his entire estate for the foundation and maintenance of the Académie Goncourt. Since 1903, the académie has awarded the Prix Goncourt, probably the most important literary prize in French literature.
The first-ever English-language version of Manette Salomon, translated by Tina Kover, will be published in the spring of 2012 by Hol Art Books.
