Marcel Pagnol

4.9/5 (9557 ratings)

Description:In a rural French village an old man and his only remaining relative cast their covetous eyes on an adjoining vacant property. They need its spring water to grow their own flowers and crops, so are dismayed to hear that a new owner is moving in. They block up the spring and watch as their new neighbour, Jean, tries to keep his crops watered from wells far afield throughout the hot summer. Though they see his desperate efforts are breaking his health and his wife and daughter's hearts, they turn a blind eye as events reach a tragic conclusion. Manon des Sources picks up the thread ten years on as Jean's daughter, Manon, now a beautiful woman, discovers her neighbours' heartless actions and seeks to avenge her father's death. Originally published as a two-part novel in 1962, entitled L'Eau des Collines (Water of the Hills), it was later adapted into award-winning films by Claude Berri in 1987. Jean de Florette and its sequel Manon des Sources were both set against the sun-splashed landscapes of Provence and starred Yves Montand, Daniel Auteil, Gerard Depardieu and Emmanuelle Beart.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
