Product Description

Nominally Daudet, with the Goncourts and Zola, formed a trio representing Naturalism in fiction. He adopted the watchwords of that school, and by private friendship, no less than by a common profession of faith, was one of them. But the students of the future, while recognizing an obvious affinity between the other two, may be puzzled to find Daudet's name conjoined with theirs.

Decidedly, Daudet belonged to the Realistic School. But, above all, he was an impressionist. All that can be observed--the individual picture, scene, character--Daudet will render with wonderful accuracy, and all his novels, especially those written after 1870, show an increasing firmness of touch, limpidity of style, and wise simplicity in the use of the sources of pathetic emotion, such as befit the cautious Naturalist. Daudet wrote stories, but he had to be listened to. ... Read more

Product Description

Astier, commonly called Astier-Réhu (Pierre Alexandre Léonard), Member of the Académie Française, was born in 1816 at Sauvagnat (Puy-de-Dôme). His parents belonged to the class of small farmers. He displayed from his earliest years a remarkable aptitude for the study of history. His education, begun at Riom and continued at Louis-le-Grand, where he was afterwards to re-appear as professor, was more sound than is now fashionable, and secured his admission to the Ecole Normale Supérieure, from which he went to the Chair of History at the Lycée of Mende. It was here that he wrote the Essay on Marcus Aurelius, crowned by the Académie Française. Called to Paris the following year by M. de Salvandy, the young and brilliant professor showed his sense of the discerning favour extended to him by publishing, ... Read more

Product Description
Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897), né à Nîmes (Gard), est un écrivain et auteur dramatique français. Daudet se consacra à l’écriture, non seulement comme chroniqueur au journal Le Figaro mais aussi comme romancier. Puis, après avoir fait un voyage en Provence, Alphonse commença à écrire les premiers textes qui feront partie des Lettres de mon Moulin (1869). Il connut son premier succès en 1862-1865, avec la Dernière Idole, pièce montée à l’Odéon et écrite en collaboration avec Ernest Manuel - pseudonyme d’Ernest Lépine. Puis, il obtint, par le directeur du journal L’Événement, l’autorisation de les publier comme feuilleton pendant tout l’été de l’année 1866, sous le titre de Chroniques Provençales. Le premier vrai roman d’Alphonse Daudet fut Le Petit Chose écrit en 1868. C’est en 1874 qu’Alphonse décida d’écrire des romans de moeurs comme: Fromont Jeune et Risler Aîné mais aussi Jack (1876) et Le Nabab (1877). Pendant ces travaux de romancier et de dramaturge, il n’oublia pas pour autant son travail de conteur: il écrivit en 1872 Tartarin de Tarascon, qui fut son personnage mythique. ... Read more
