Tartarin De Tarascon

Tartarin de Tarascon

by Alphonse Daudet

Qui n'a jamais entendu parler de Tartarin de Tarascon, le grand Tartarin, héros de Tarascon, chef des chasseurs de casquettes ? Alphonse Daudet nous le présente, nous dépeint son « chez lui », ses habitudes, sa vie à Tarascon, qu'il va être amené à quitter pour une chasse au lion ... Il nous invite à le suivre en Algérie et à découvrir ses aventures burlesques. (Introduction de Ezwa) "Tartarin de Tarascon" tells the burlesque adventures of Tartarin, a local hero of Tarascon, a small town in southern France, whose invented adventures and reputation as a swashbuckler finally force him to travel to a very prosaic Algiers in search of lions. Instead of finding a romantic, mysterious Oriental fantasy land, he finds a sordid world suspended between Europe and the Middle East. And worst of all, there are no lions left. (Summary from Wikipedia) An English version is available / Une version anglaise est disponible : Tartarin of Tarascon.
