Daudet, Alphonse: Tartarin of Tarascon, v1, 26 November 2009.
Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897)
Tartarin of Tarascon (Tartarin de Tarascon) (1872) No translator named. The source was Project Gutenberg. From Wikipedia: “It 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.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartarin_de_Tarascon This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
