Marcel Pagnol / Gaston Barret - César - 1946

A superb illustrated and numbered edition of this work, which constitutes the third installment of the famous Marseille trilogy following 'Marius' and 'Fanny', and presents itself as a work in which the humanity of the characters, their rooting in the Provençal countryside, and the depth of their emotions unfold with dramatic intensity and a warm, popular spirit.

The story centers on César, a paternal and boisterous figure, confronted with the consequences of the romantic and family choices of his son Marius and of Fanny, in an atmosphere where comedy blends with tragedy, and where Pagnol's language, rich in southern turns of phrase, gives the text an authentic flavor -

The work is enriched with beautiful black-and-white and color illustrations by Gaston Barret.
