Description
Theophile Gautier (1811 - 1872) was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and literary critic. By age 18 Gautier was a Latin scholar due to the tutoring of his father. Victor Hugo became a major influence in his life and gave him a taste for literature. During the time of Louis VIII Captain Fracasse was a soldier whose adventures portray bouts of chivalry, courage and a sense of adventure. This book was promised to the public in 1836 but finally published in 1863. The novel represents a different era and is a project that Gautier had wanted to complete earlier in this youth. It is centered on a soldier named Fracasse whose adventures portray bouts of chivalry, courage and a sense of adventure. Gautier places the story in his favourite historical era, that of Louis XIII. It is best described as a typical cloak-and-dagger fairy tale where everyone lives happily ever after.
