Marcel Pagnol / Albert Dubout - Marius - 1949

Charming numbered edition 2181 on large white vellum and illustrated with beautiful color compositions by Albert Dubout -

The action takes place mainly in the Vieux-Port district of Marseille, around César’s bar, where sailors, regulars and neighborhood characters gather, in a deeply southern atmosphere made of lively conversations, jokes, quarrels and scenes of conviviality -

At the center of the story is Marius, a young man torn between his attachment to his father César, his affection for Fanny and his deep desire to discover the world by going to sea -

Fanny, a young shell seller, has loved Marius for a long time and hopes to build with him a simple and stable life in Marseille, but the young man’s aspirations gradually exceed the scope of his daily existence -
