«Aventures prodigieuses de Tartarin de Tarascon», a satirical novel by Alphonse Daudet, paperback, 186 pages, in French.
Tartarin, a well-to-do bourgeois from Tarascon, is bored and compensates for his quiet life with dreams of exploits; when he announces that he will go lion-hunting in Algeria, his fantasies clash with reality and cause comic misunderstandings. Daudet satirizes the pretensions of provincial bourgeoisie with caricatural humor.
First installment of Alphonse Daudet's «Tartarin» series; the work was originally published in 1872.
For readers interested in nineteenth-century French classics and satirical humor.
Louis Marie Alphonse Daudet was a French novelist. He was the husband of Julia Daudet and father of Edmée, Léon and Lucien Daudet.
