«Tartarín de Tarascón» is the adventure and humor novel by Alphonse Daudet, published by Espasa Calpe in 1984, in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Tartarin, a vain man from Tarascon, has gained a hero's fame without leaving his town: his imagination turns him into a scourge of bandits in Shanghai and a lion hunter. When fantasy fails, he travels to Algeria to hunt a lion that may exist only in his head, in a satire on bravado and the craving for recognition.
First installment of the Tartarin series. Austral Collection (no. 755); the original was published in 1872 as Aventures prodigieuses de Tartarin de Tarascon.
For readers seeking a nineteenth-century classic of humor and adventure, with a protagonist as boastful as he is endearing.
Louis Marie Alphonse Daudet was a French novelist. He was the husband of Julia Daudet and father of Edmée, Léon and Lucien Daudet.
