Book Description
Excerpt from The Novels, Romances and Writings of Alphonse Daudet: The Little Parish Church That he had not attempted a task beyond his powers was at once apparent. The old charm re appeared in the description of the quiet country along the Seine a few miles out of Paris a setting furnishing an admirable foil to the passionate scenes to be enacted. The old sympathy for humanity in all its aspects reappeared in the excellent description of the passers upon the highway, especially of that pathetic tramp, Pere Georges. There were even traces of the sponta neous humor of yore, and everywhere there was evidence that Daudet had by no means abandoned his practice of studying attentively the living docu ment. The psychological power, too, that had been marked in other works again stood him in good stead, and toward the close of the new story there was enough action to satisfy the readers that demanded interest. Clearly T/ze Little Paris/z Chunk, if a new departure, was by no means a sign that the master's powers were agging seriously and that he was vainly endeavor ing to conceal the fact from himself and his admirers.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Novels, Romances and Writings of Alphonse Daudet But granted that Daudet is a great humourist who will hold his own with future readers, the fact remains that he is a French humourist, and the query at once arises whether he will be able to stand that cosmopolitan test which we demand of truly great authors. In other words will his humour bear permanent transplanting into other tongues? Any attempt to answer this question will expose the critic who makes it to a chance of committing a blunder of the kind that future critics delight to hold up to ridicule. A work of humour has diffie culties enough to encounter in its author's native land; these difficulties are enhanced tenfold when the translator or interpreter has intervened. Even when two nations speak a common language, it rarely happens that they can appreciate each other's efforts to be humourous or funny. Many an American fails to smile at the best things of Charles Lamb, and we may rest assured that Mark Twain can tell queer stories of his British experi ences whenever he has a mind to. Then there is the case of Dickens, with whom Daudet is forever being compared. Dickens unquestionably con quered both the British and the American public.
