Tartarin, an inhabitant of Tarascon with a thirst for adventure, embarks on a journey to the Alps in the 1880s, a time when tourism was beginning to flourish in Europe. Equipped with everything needed to face the glaciers, Tartarin encounters a luxurious hotel full of extravagant characters instead of the wild spaces he expected. From there, he lives a series of comical adventures in an alpine setting that is being commercially exploited. Alphonse Daudet, recognized for his French realism, seeks to entertain the reader through a kind critique of the social customs of his time, offering a fun look at the adventures and misadventures of Tartarin that have delighted readers around the world for over a century. This edition includes illustrations from the first French edition and a prologue by Eduardo Martínez de Pisón.
