Does the artist have to get married? To this simple question posed in the prologue, Alphonse Daudet replies in the negative and proves it in twelve little-known stories, first published in 1873.


Poets, men of theater, musicians, sculptors, painters, obscure or famous, rich or broke are called to testify. The behaviors of the artistic world of the end of the century are sifted through an incisive and funny writing that resolutely places Daudet on the side of Zola and Maupassant. The charge is fierce, the report without reply.

Alphonse Daudet

Alphonse Daudet was born in Nimes in 1840. He made his name with gentle stories and novels portraying life in the French provinces, notably Lettres de mon Moulin (1869).

He died in 1897. His extraordinary notebooks detailing the effects of syphilis on his life were first published under the title In the Land of Pain by Daudet's widow in 1931.

The first English translation by Julian Barnes was published by Cape in 2002.
