Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~SP25~ [1.5P] Fromont Jeune et Risler Aine (Fromont and Risler or Fromont Junior and Risler Senior), first published in 1874, is the novel by French author Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897) that first made Daudet famous, or as he put it, 'the dawn of his popularity.' Daudet had won a creditable literary place for himself before its publication with Letters From My Windmill (1869), but when Fromont and Risler appeared in 1874, he was at once hailed as one of the few really great novelists of his time, one of the few who knew how to deal adequately with the mysteries, the complexities, and the subtleties of human nature and human passion. The novel was crowned by the French Academy with the Jouy Prize, but that was a small part of its success. It was everywhere read and talked of, from the highest to the lowest ranks.
