Contes du Lundi is a collection of short stories in three parts by the French writer Alphonse Daudet. Published in 1873 by Alphonse Lemerre editions and inspired by the events of the Franco-Prussian war, it paints realistic pictures of the life of the time: the people of Paris subjected to deprivation, the events of the Commune and the repression of the Versaillais. Alphonse Daudet also extols the sadness of the loss of Alsace-Lorraine through The Last Lesson, the best-known story in this book.
