Letters from my Windmill by Alphonse Daudet
The stories are all told by the author in the first person, typically addressing a Parisian reader. The author, having relocated his home from Paris, recounts short bucolic tales about his new life in Provence as well as his trips to Corsica and French Algeria. Considered to be light-hearted, and often a bit tongue-in-cheek, the stories vary from day-to-day events in southern France to Provencal folk-tales, and often feature professions and faunal references characteristic of Provence.
Alphonse Daudet wurde am 13.05.1840 in Nimes/Provence geboren; er starb am 16.12.1897 in Paris.Alphonse verlebte seine Kindheit in Lyon. Nach dem Bankrott seines Vaters war er 1856 gezwungen, die Schule zu verlassen. Er arbeitete dann als Amtsdiener in Ales.1857 zog er nach Paris zu seinem alteren Bruder Ernest.
