«Tartarín de Tarascón» is the adventure and humour novel by Alphonse Daudet, published by Planeta in paperback (155 pages, in Spanish).
Tartarín, a Tarasconian with an overflowing imagination, enjoys a reputation for bravery thanks to the collective mirage of his town. That fame pushes Tartarín to travel to Algeria to hunt non-existent lions. Daudet portrays his protagonist as a quixotic hero in slippers, with humour, irony and satire of colonialism.
First instalment of the Tartarín series. This edition includes the translation by Manuel Serrat Crespo and belongs to the Biblioteca Mundial de Grandes Aventuras collection.
For readers of nineteenth-century French classics who appreciate satirical humour.
Louis Marie Alphonse Daudet was a French novelist. He was the husband of Julia Daudet and father of Edmée, Léon and Lucien Daudet.
