The Time of Secrets and the Time of Love
Following the huge success of the first two volumes of his classic memoirs My Father's Glory and My Mother's Castle comes this reissue of Marcel Pagnol's delightful evocation of his school-days in Provence. The Time of Secrets and The Time of Love, with their affectionate humour and open-hearted veracity, have been hailed as Pagnol's masterpiece. With this publication of The Time of Secrets and The Time of Love, Andre Deutsch has the privilege of bringing together in one volume the final two parts of Marcel Pagnol's memoirs, Les Souvenirs d'Enfance. The Time of Secrets was originally published during Pagnol's lifetime, but the Time of Love was published posthumously. Details on how these later chapters came to be discovered, edited and published are to be found in the appending essay by Bernard de Fallois, Pagnol's editor and friend. The Time of Secrets was originally published as Les Temps des Secrets by Hamish Hamilton Ltd. The Time of Love was originally published as Les Temps des Amours by Hamish Hamilton Ltd.
