This edition collects the three Tartarino tales by Alphonse Daudet: Tartarino di Tarascona, Tartarino sulle Alpi, and Tarascona a mare, translated by Aldo Palazzeschi. The central figure, Tartarino, is a proud, boisterous inhabitant of Tarascona who oscillates between grandiose fantasies and mundane reality. His fanciful ambitions—heroic hunts, Alpine climbs, maritime adventures—are imbued with both comedic exaggeration and a poignant human vulnerability. Through contrast between southern provincial life and adventurous dreams, Daudet explores themes of identity, bravado, illusion vs reality, and how ordinary existence shapes the hero myths we build. Palazzeschi’s translation captures Tartarino’s flamboyance and the lyrical humor, offering Italian readers the vivid provincial color and underlying social commentary of the original French.
