Marcel Pagnol - Lettre autographe signée au sujet du "Château de ma mère" - 1958

Very beautiful autograph letter by Marcel Pagnol (1895-1974), French writer, playwright and filmmaker famous for works inspired by Provence.

In very good condition.
Letter addressed to his sister Germaine Pagnol. Marcel speaks of the “Château de sa mère.”

The Château de la Buzine, in Marseille, is a former country house transformed into a castle in the 19th century. Marcel Pagnol bought it in 1941 to create a film city there, not knowing what the place was. When he visits it a few days later, he recognizes with emotion the “castle of his mother,” the place he feared as a child while crossing the estate with his family. This poignant memory would become the heart of his book Le Château de ma mère. The film project failed, the castle was abandoned, then saved and restored by the city of Marseille, which in 2011 made it a cultural site dedicated to Mediterranean cinema and to Pagnol’s work.
