Narration During Books Jean de Florette (L'Eau des Collines #1)

Au village des Bastides Blanches, on hait ceux de Crespin. C'est pourquoi lorsque Jean Cadoret, le Bossu, s'installe à la ferme des Romarins, on ne lui parle pas de la source cachée. Ce qui facilite les manœuvres des Soubevran, le Papet et son neveu Ugolin. qui veulent lui racheter son domaine à bas prix... Jean de Florette (1962), premier volume de L'Eau des collines, marque, trente ans après Pirouettes, le retour de Pagnol au roman. C'est l'épopée de l'eau nourricière sans laquelle rien n'est possible. Marcel Pagnol y développe l'histoire du père de Manon, évoquée sous forme de flash-back dans le filin Manon des sources (1952). Les dialogues sont savoureux, et la prose aussi limpide que dans les Souvenirs d'enfance. Quant au Papet et à Ugolin, à la fois drôles et terrifiants, ils sont parmi les créations les plus complexes de Pagnol. " Tri comprends, s'ils avaient bu l'eau de la citerne, c'est sûr qu'ils seraient morts tous les trois, et moi ça m'aurait embêté. D'avoir bouché la source, c'est pas criminel : c'est pour les œillets. Mais si, à cause de ça, il y avait des morts, eh bien peut-être qu'après nous n'en parlerions pas, mais nous y penserions.

Comment On Of Books Jean de Florette (L'Eau des Collines #1)

A delightful novel, essentially a tragedy but told with sly wit and warm humor. Great movie, great book.

This is a book to which I return often. I enjoy Pagnol, and this is my favourite of him. The characters and the detail are perfect. The cruel and tragic actions driven by great and envy...lessons for all.

Jean de Florette is a novelized version of the first half of Manon des Sources a film that the author had made ten years earlier in 1952. Just like the movie, the novel is a stylistic masterpiece. Nothing is redundant. Every paragraph plays a vital part in the work. The plot is very tightly stitched together and the actions of all the characters are perfectly coherent.Of course, one should read for the pleasure not to admire the writer's impeccable style. Jean de Florette is indeed a pleasure of

I first read this book (in French)when I was eighteen. I am not sure if I understood it all since I am getting much more out of the reading now. The saga is perfect in its scope and subject.

Definitely a nice, well told story. Two main characters: the impressive and tragic figure of Jean, a citydweller who thinks he can create paradise on earth out of books, and he almost seems to succeed in this; and the hesitant Ugolin who, driven by greed, drives Jean to his misfortune, but at the same time suffers for what he's doing. In other words: Pagnol offers us the themes of the impotence of modernism, and the battle between greed and conscience. Beautifully told, with an eye for the

my summer is not complete without having read Jean de Florette and Manon des sources, so I've read both countless times both in French and in German and still love them to pieces. vivid descriptions and colorful characters evoke pictures in my mind and I can smell Provence and feel its sun burning. this is perfect literature.

Just wonderful. A tragic, absorbing and sensuous tale woven into the French countryside. Just a brilliant brilliant story that has really left an impression on me.
