Port-Tarascon is a novel written by French author Alphonse Daudet. It is a continuation of his previous work, Tartarin de Tarascon, and follows the adventures of the protagonist Tartarin as he travels to the fictional Mediterranean port town of Port-Tarascon. The book is a satirical commentary on French colonialism and imperialism, as Tartarin attempts to establish a French colony in Port-Tarascon with comical results.In addition to the novel, the book also includes a collection of Daudet's essays and sketches titled Studies and Landscapes. These pieces offer a glimpse into Daudet's personal life and experiences, as well as his observations on society and culture.Overall, Port-Tarascon is a humorous and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on French literature and society in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
