Vincent Daudet, the father, manufactured silk, but misfortune and failure dogged the man through life. A boyhood depressed Alphonse amid much truancy had. He spent his days mainly at Lyon, left in 1856, and began life as a schoolteacher at Alès, Gard, in the south. The position proved intolerable. As <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/239579.Charles_Dickens" title="Charles Dickens" rel="nofollow noopener">Charles Dickens</a> declared that all through his prosperous career, the miseries of his apprenticeship to the blacking business haunted him in dreams, so after Daudet left Alès, he woke with horror, thinking for months that he still dwelt among his unruly pupils.<br /><br />On 1 November 1857, he abandoned teaching and took refuge with Ernest Daudet, his brother only some three years his senior, who tried "soberly" to make a living as a journalist in Paris. Alphonse took to writing, and a small volume, <i> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6090493.Les_Amoureuses" title="Les Amoureuses" rel="nofollow noopener">Les Amoureuses</a> </i> (1858), collected his poems and met with a fair reception. He obtained employment on <i>Le Figaro</i>, then under energetic editorship of <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/18323820.Cartier_de_Villemessant" title="Cartier de Villemessant" rel="nofollow noopener">Cartier de Villemessant</a>, and wrote two or three plays; those interested in literature began to recognize him as possessing individuality and promise. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6400360.Morny" title="Morny" rel="nofollow noopener">Morny</a>, all-powerful minister of <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1228989.Napoleon_III" title="Napoleon III" rel="nofollow noopener">Napoleon III</a>, appointed Daudet, who held a post of his secretaries till death of Morny in 1865, and Morny showed Daudet no small kindness. Daudet put his foot on the road to fortune. <br /><br /><i> From Wikipedia </i><br />
