Alphonse Daudet — Fromont Jeune Et Risler Aine

Paris, Bibliotheque-Charpentier, 1905. Leather. A copy of 'Fromont jeune et Risler aîné' is a novel by French author Alphonse Daudet. It is the novel that first made Daudet famous, or as he put it, "the dawn of his popularity." Alphonse Daudet (13 May 1840 – 16 December 1897) was a French novelist. He was the father of Léon Daudet and Lucien Daudet. The novel was crowned by the French Academy with the Jouy Prize, but that was a small part of its success. It was everywhere read and talked of, from the highest to the lowest ranks. In French. In a half calf binding with cloth boards. Externally, excellent with just some shelfwear and a mark to the rear board. Internally, firmly bound and clean with browning throughout. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed .
