DAUDET, Alphonse.

Little What's-his-name, ("Le petit chose"), to which is added
La Belle-Nivernaise; tr. by J. M. Sedgwick.....
"Whether we take it as a fiction, with its innumerable bits of delicate
humor, lovely descriptions of places and glimpses of characters in
humble life, or whether we accept it as an autobiography which is
likely to bring us into closer acquaintance with the inner soul of a
great man, the first part is delightful reading. But we lose sight of
him through all the adventures, at once wild and commonplace, which
are crowding in the second part, to culminate in the most uncon-
vincing dénoument." Augustin Filon.

Numa Roumestan; tr. by Charles DeKay......

.D2841

....D284n

"The Provençal character has its dramatic as well as its comic aspect.
In 'Numa Roumestan' we have the farce and the tragedy blended
together into a coherent whole. We have a Tartarin whose power
over man and woman is not a mockery but a reality, who can win
love and sympathy and admiration, not in little Tarascon, mind you,
but in Paris; who sends joy abroad and creates torture at home; a
charming companion, a kind master, a subtle politician, a wonderful
talker, but a light hearted and faithless husband, a genial liar, a
smiling and good-natured deceiver; the true image of the gifted adven-
turer who periodically emerges from the South and goes northward
finally to conquer and govern the whole country." Augustin Filon.
