«Tartarin de Tarascon» is the adventure novel by Alphonse Daudet, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (187 pages, in French).
Tartarin, a dreamer from Provence who gets carried away by his readings of exotic adventures, decides to go to Africa to hunt lions. His expedition, full of misunderstandings, reflects the distance between imagination and reality, and serves Daudet as a satire of the bourgeois society of his time.
Work originally published in 1872 as «Aventures prodigieuses de Tartarin de Tarascon»; opens Daudet's «Tartarin» series. Edition from the Folio Junior collection.
Aimed at children and young adults, it also works as a gateway to a classic of French humour.
Louis Marie Alphonse Daudet was a French novelist. He was the husband of Julia Daudet and father of Edmée, Léon and Lucien Daudet.
