The third volume of Marcel Pagnol’s childhood memories

For young Marcel, it is the moment of great changes. The vacations at the Bastide Neuve continue, but they are not quite the same. Lili des Bellons has to work in the fields and the days spent running in the scrubland seem very far away. Then comes the time of the beginning of the school year, the arrival in sixth grade at the Lycée Thiers in Marseille, where the future Academician discovers a new world, “far” from his family.
