Fromont: Immortals Crowned By The French Academy is a literary work by Alphonse Daudet, a French writer and journalist. The book tells the story of a wealthy Parisian family, the Fromonts, and their rise to power in the business world. The patriarch of the family, Georges Fromont, is a successful businessman who builds his empire through hard work and cunning. His wife, Sidonie, is a social climber who uses her beauty and charm to manipulate those around her. The novel follows the Fromont family as they navigate the complex world of business and politics in late 19th century France. The book is notable for its portrayal of the French bourgeoisie and its examination of the corrupting influence of wealth and power. It was also recognized by the French Academy, which awarded Daudet the prestigious Immortals Crown for his contribution to French literature. Overall, Fromont: Immortals Crowned By The French Academy is a compelling work of fiction that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of French high society during a time of great change and upheaval.The complete text by Alphonse Daudet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
