The Glory of my father Marcel Pagnol (FALLOIS)

A little Marseillais from a century ago: primary school; the family cocoon; the first vacation in the hills, at La Treille; the first hunt with his father ... When he began to write his Souvenirs d'enfance in the mid-fifties, Marcel Pagnol was moving away from the cinema, and the theater no longer smiled on him. my father, since its publication in 1957, is hailed as marking the advent of a great prose writer.
Joseph, the schoolteacher father, Augustine, the shy mother, Uncle Jules, Aunt Rosé, little brother Paul, immediately became as popular as Marius, César or Panisse. And the bartavelle hunting scene immediately turns into a primary school dictation ... Pagnol's memories are those of all children in the world. Later, it seems, Pagnol would have wanted them to become a movie.
It is Yves Robert who, long after the death of the writer, will realize it. "I was born in the town of Aubagne. Sounds the Garlaban crowned with goats in the time of the last goatherds"
