A master of French Naturalism, the nineteenth century novelist Alphonse Daudet is chiefly remembered today as the author of sentimental tales of provincial life in the south of France. Unlike his fellow Naturalists, Daudet upheld that the world in its diversity was misrepresented by novelists that concentrated only on its bleaker aspects. He is celebrated for his objective interest in external detail, as well as his compassionate personality and his reverence for the mystery of all things and individuals. Daudet tempers his satire with pity, drawing comparisons in style to the works of Dickens and Maupassant. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Daudet’s complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and bonus material. (Version 1)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Alphonse Daudet

Alphonse Daudet (Nîmes, 1840–Paris, 1897) foi um romancista, poeta e dramaturgo francês.
Por dificuldades financeiras familiares, interrompeu os estudos no liceu de Lyon para trabalhar como vigilante de um colégio. Com a ajuda do irmão, aos 18 anos vai para Paris, dando início à sua vida literária. Tendo já publicado uma coletânea de versos (Les Amoureuses, 1858), consegue emprego no Le Figaro e como secretário do Duque de Morny, ministro de Napoleão III. Em 1862 lança um volume de contos, Le Roman du Chaperon Rouge. Torna-se íntimo de Goncourt e Emile Zola.
Em 1866, publica Lettres de Mon Moulin, que coloca Daudet como um dos grandes escritores do seu tempo.
Alistou-se e defendeu Paris (1870) durante o cerco das tropas prussianas à cidade (Guerra Franco-Prussiana), adquirindo experiência bélica. Por problemas de saúde, viajou pela Argélia, onde se inspirou para escrever Tartarin de Tarascon, em 1872.
A seguir escreveu dois romances de grande valor literário, Fromont Jeune et Risler Ainé (1873, premiado pela Academia Francesa) e Jack (1876), este o mais comovente e realista dos seus romances. Filiou-se na escola naturalista, produzindo obra variada e satírica, retratando as personagens da vida parisiense.
Morreu em 1897, depois de anos de sofrimento, causado por doença cerebral. Está sepultado no Cemitério de Père-Lachaise (Paris).
