Port-Tarascon: To Whichis Added Studies and Landscapes

Paperback (Forgotten Books Jan. 18, 2018)
Excerpt from Port-Tarascon: To Whichis Added Studies and LandscapesBut wherein does port-tarasoon fall below its predecessors? This question might be answered by enumerating many scenes and episodes from the later book, and setting them in contrast with avowedly successful features of the earlier volumes. For example the defence of the monastery of Pam périgouste by tartarin-crusader is plainly less spontaneous and amusing than any of the great exploits of tartarin-nimrod or tartarin-alpinist. Again, where in the first two books will one find as many dragging pages as are consumed by The veritable legend of Antichrist told upon the deck of the 'tutu-panpan' by the Reverend Father Bataillet But it is not in its details, some of which are admirable, that we find the cause of Daudet's comparative want of success in his last venture in humourous fiction; it is in its general subject-matter, which is too gloomy to be treated gayly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
