First published in 2002. In this title, Edward B. D'Auvergne chronicles the life of Pierre Loti, written with fervent sympathy. We journey with Loti from Brittany to Constantinople, from China to Morocco, from Egypt to Isfahan, breathing all the way the atmosphere and recognising the sources of the stories. Readers will find the biography of Pierre Loti as fascinating as the tales for which he is deservedly renowned. By writing of his life, D'Auvergne argues that those with an interest in literature may understand Loti better and, in turn, better understand his writing.
