Marcel Pagnol / Dubout - Fanny - 1949

Charming numbered edition 2181 on large white vellum and illustrated with this vibrant meeting between Pagnol's southern theater and Dubout's exuberant graphic imagination, giving birth to a book where popular tenderness and visual caricature intertwine in a celebration of the spoken word and the line-drawn image -

Second part of the Marseille trilogy (Marius, Fanny, César), Fanny continues the story of thwarted loves between Fanny and Marius, against a backdrop of the harbor, family, and social morality -

Abandoned by Marius who went to sea, Fanny discovers she is pregnant and agrees to marry the merchant Panisse to save her honor and provide a father for her child -

Pagnol's text, written in a living, warm and musical language, blends humor, emotion and popular wisdom, embodying the soul of Marseille and the complexity of human feelings -

Jean Dubout, with his lush, burlesque graphic style, illustrates this dramatic comedy by accentuating the features of the characters — mustaches, bellies, outraged looks — and filling the margins with supporting figures, picturesque décors and visual winks -
