Port-Tarascon: Dernières
aventures de l'illustre Tartarin
by Alphonse Daudet
French fiction -- 19th
century
Published by E. Flammarion, Editeur.Paris 1891
"Port-Tarascon: Dernières
aventures de l'illustre Tartarin" by Alphonse Daudet is a
novel written in the late 19th century.
This work serves as a humorous follow-up to the adventures of
Tartarin, a beloved character known for his exaggerated bravado
and comedic exploits.
The story is set in Provence and revolves around the whimsical
adventures of Tartarin and the people of Tarascon,
particularly as they embark on an unexpected journey of colonization.
The opening of the novel introduces readers to a September day
in Provence,
capturing the vibrant atmosphere of the region during vendange,
or grape harvest. The narrator, accompanied by the poet Mistral
and his son, approaches
Tarascon and reflects on their past experiences and the town’s
notorious reputation due to the antics of Tartarin himself. As
they arrive, the once-bustling Tarascon eerily appears deserted,
with hints of a mass exodus led by Tartarin in pursuit of adventure
and prosperity in a new, promised land.
The narrative builds intrigue as the residents have disappeared
to seek out colonization in Port-Tarascon, signifying the whimsy
and humor that characterizes the tale to follow.
