A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Alphonse Daudet, born in Nîmes (Gard) on 13 May 1840 and died in Paris on 16 December 1897, is a French writer and playwright. He is buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris. Alphonse Daudet was born in Nîmes on 13 May 1840. After attending classes at the Canivet institution in Nîmes, he entered the sixth grade at the Ampère high school. Alphonse must give up his baccalauréat because of the ruin in 1855 of his father, trading in silks. He became a lecturer at the Collège d'Alès. This painful experience inspired his first novel, Le Petit Chose (1868). Daudet then joined his brother in Paris and led a life of Bohemian. In 1859 he published a collection of verses, Les Amoureuses. The following year, he met the poet Frédéric Mistral. He entered a number of literary salons, collaborated with several newspapers, including Paris-Journal, L'Universel and Le Figaro.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The burlesque adventures of Tartarin, a local hero of Tarascon, a small town in southern France, whose invented adventures and reputation as a swashbuckler finally force him to travel to a very prosaic Algiers in search of lions. Instead of finding a romantic, mysterious Oriental fantasy land, he finds a sordid world suspended between Europe and the Middle East. And worst of all, there are no lions left.
