About the author and works: Alphonse Daudet is considered to be one of the most iconic names of French literature. Unlike many famous writers in world history, Alphonse wasn’t very well educated, and wrote his first novel at the age of fourteen. Many of Alphonse’s works drew inspiration from instances of his life. His liaison with a model, 'Sappho', and the depressing times of his childhood, 'Little What's His Name', were reflected in few of his books. His work 'Thirty Years in Paris' seemed to be more like autobiography. Though he passed away in the final decade of the 19th century, his name still continues to be popular amongst the citizens of France. A lot of educational institutions in France have been named after this famous writer. However, he was also criticized by many for being anti-Jewish and a monarchist. His book ‘Le Nabob’, revolved around a Jewish politician, and spoke about Alphonse’s strong dislike towards the community. However, Alphonse, till date, is considered by many literature lovers to be one of the handful writers who portray human emotions in a very realistic manner (Famouspeople).
