Alphonse Daudet 1840-1897 was a French novelist. He was the father of Lon Daudet and Lucien Daudet. After abandoning teaching, he lived in Paris, wrote poems, - shortly collected into a small volume Les Amoureuses 1858 , which met with a fair reception - obtained employment on the Figaro, then under Cartier de Villemessants energetic editorship, wrote two or three plays, and began to be recognized, among those interested in literature, as possessing individuality and promise. In 1866, Daudets Lettres de Mon Moulin, written in Clamart, near Paris, and alluding to a windmill in Fontvieille, Provence, won the attention of many readers. The first of his longer books, Le Petit Chose 1868 , did not, however, produce popular sensation. It is, in the main, the story of his own earlier years told with much grace and pathos. Henceforward his career was that of a very successful man of letters, publishing novel on novel, Le Nabab 1877 , Les Rois en Exil 1879 , Numa Roumestan 1881 , Sappho 1884 , and LImmortel 1888 .
