EDITORS COMMENTS
Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897): A Prolific Writer and Master Storyteller of Provence This photograph captures the enigmatic and charismatic figure of Alphonse Daudet, a renowned French writer of the late 19th century. Born in 1840 in Sete, a picturesque port town in the south of France, Daudet's works would later immortalize the region and its people. The photograph, taken in 1897, shows Daudet in the prime of his literary career, with the backdrop of two scenes from two of his most beloved books. On the left, we see the iconic image from "Letters from My Windmill," where Daudet describes the idyllic landscape of his windmill in the Alpilles, a range of hills in Provence. The tranquil scene is a testament to the author's deep connection to the land and his ability to evoke the beauty and charm of the region through his words. On the right, we find a scene from "Tartarin de Tarascon," one of Daudet's most famous works. Tartarin, a larger-than-life character, is a proud and boastful fisherman from Tarascon, a town on the Rhone River. The scene depicts Tartarin's grandiose claims about his fishing exploits, which often border on the absurd. Daudet's satirical portrayal of Tartarin and the people of Tarascon became a symbol of the author's keen observation and wit. Alphonse Daudet's works continue to captivate readers with their rich descriptions of Provence, their engaging characters, and their insightful commentary on French society during the late 19th century. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the man behind the words and the enduring impact of his literary legacy.
