Classic French novel, in translation by W. Blaydes, with a critical introduction by Prof. W.P. Trent. A popular writer in his time and admired by Charles Dickens and Henry James, French novelist, playwright and journalist Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897) has been largely forgotten today. In his day, Daudet counted among his circle Flaubert, Dickens, James, Zola, Turgenev, and the Goncourt brothers, and was widely admired as a sunny humorist and clear stylist.
