Les Amoureuses (Edition Intégrale - Version Entièrement Illustrée) * Inclus une courte biographie d'Alphonse Daudet Descriptif : Le premier livre publié par Alphonse Daudet, était un recueil de poèmes, de la poésie naturaliste aux images naïves et généreuses que nous vous invitons à découvrir ici. Extrait : Lorsque je vivais loin de vous, Toujours triste, toujours en larmes, Pour mon coeur malade et jaloux Le sommeil seul avait des charmes. Maintenant que tu m'appartiens Et que mon coeur a sa pâture, - Il ne m'est plus qu'une torture, Le sommeil cher aux jours anciens. Lorsque je dormais loin de vous, Dans un rêve toujours le même, Je vous voyais à mes genoux Me dire chaque nuit : « Je t'aime ! » Maintenant que tu m'appartiens, Dans les bras chaque nuit je rêve Que tu pars, qu'un méchant t'enlève Et que je meurs quand tu reviens.
