Two novels set in the hills of Provence in France. 'Jean de Florette' tells the story of two grasping and unprincipled farmers who plot to trick a naïve newcomer out of his land. 'Manon des Sources' picks up the story some ten years later, telling how the man’s daughter finds a way of exacting revenge on the village for the inadvertent death of her father.

Pagnol is generally regarded as one of France's greatest 20th-century writers and is notable for his mastery of multiple literary genres —memoir, novel, theatre and film.
