'The Nabob' by Alphonse Daudet was originally written under the French title of 'Le Nebab' by the author in 1877, before being published into English the following year. This work is a dramatic novel about a peasant trying to push himself higher in Parisian society. The main protagonist was inspired by a Jewish politician that the author campaigned against and lost to.Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897) was a French novelist and husband to writer Julia Daudet. He wrote many novels, some of which reflect his questionable Anti-Semitic tendencies. Collated, complete. Bound in full-morocco with gilt illustration to boards and spine. Externally, excellent. No noticeable edgewear and just a bit of discolouration to spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout, with the odd spot to the first and last few pages. Near Fine
