Daudet, Alphonse
Born: May 13, 1840. Gall, Nimes
[Died] December 16, 1897. Paris French novelist. Born into a wealthy family, he gave up university due to bankruptcy and aspired to become a writer. In 1857, he went to Paris, where he became a student and friend of E. Goncourt. He pursued objectivity by closely observing the subtleties of things and life with the clarity typical of a southern Frenchman, recording them in his notebook and using them in his works. At the same time, he was filled with deep love for human beings, and even when he criticized and sarcastically portrayed human stupidity and ugliness, he wove in pity and sympathized with the inevitable weakness and imperfection of human beings. His writing style was concise, clear, and elegant. His major works include the short story collection Lettres de mon moulin (1869), the novel Tartarin de Tarascon (72), Les Contes du lundi (Monday Tales) (73), Jack (76), Sapho (84), and the play L'Arlésienne (72), known for a song by Bizet.

フランスの小説家。富裕な家庭に生れたが,破産のため大学をあきらめ文学を志して 1857年パリに出,E.ゴンクールの弟子となり友となる。南フランス人らしい明晰さで事物や人生の機微を詳細に観察し,それを手帳に記して作品に活用するなど,客観性を追求したが,一方,人間に対する深い愛情があふれ,人間の愚かさや醜さを批判して皮肉るときでさえ,そこには憐憫の情が織込まれており,人間の宿命的な弱さ,不完全さに対する共感がある。文体は簡潔明快,優雅。主著,短編集『風車小屋便り』 Lettres de mon moulin (1869) ,小説『タルタラン・ド・タラスコン』 Tartarin de Tarascon (72) ,『月曜物語』 Les Contes du lundi (73) ,『ジャック』 Jack (76) ,『サフォー』 Sapho (84) ,ビゼーの曲で知られる戯曲『アルルの女』L'Arlésienne (72) 。
