When he is challenged to go on a real hunting trip to Algeria, Tartarin must face the reality of his own limitations.The second novel, Tartarin on the Alps, sees Tartarin traveling to Switzerland for a holiday. He becomes embroiled in a series of adventures, including a mountaineering expedition and a run-in with a group of dangerous bandits. Throughout both novels, Daudet uses humor and satire to poke fun at French society and its obsession with heroism and adventure.Overall, The Works of Alphonse Daudet provides a humorous and entertaining look at the life and adventures of a larger-than-life character who is both lovable and ridiculous.
