🔖 Excerpt from Neuf Contes Choises de Daudet: Edited For School Use, With Biography, Notes, Composition Exercises And VocabularyThe young poet was now on the road to success. From 1860 to 1865 he was one of the secretaries of the Duke de Morny, the half - brother of Emperor Napoleon III, but we are told that his new position was a kind of a sinecure, Daudet calling at the office hardly more than once a month, on pay - day. He devoted his leisure hours to the writing of poems, newspaper articles and short plays. Soon his health failed as a consequence of the Bohemian life he was leading, and he was ordered to the country by his physician. He rented a dilapidated old windmill at Fontvielle situated in the very heart of Pro vence, on a hillside clothed with pine trees and green oaks, and there he began to write his'lettres de mon moulin which appeared first in a Parisian newspaper.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
