Despite the success of Zola's and Flaubert's books in the mid 1870s, Charpentier's firm ran into financial difficulties. This state of affairs worsened when Charpentier launched a new illustrated newspaper, La Vie moderne (1879-1883) with Émile Bergerat as managing editor and Pierre-Auguste Renoir as one of the illustrators. In 1883-84, Charles Marpon and Ernest Flammarion acquired a three-quarters interest in the firm. As more changes of ownership took place over the next decade, the firm's publications declined in number and authors moved on to other publishers.
