Au village des Bastides Blanches, on hait ceux de Crespin. C'est pourquoi lorsque Jean Cadoret, le Bossu, s'installe à la ferme, des Romarins, on ne. lui parle pas de la source cachée. Ce qui facilite les manoeuvres des Soubeyran, le Papet et son neveu Ugolin., qui veulent. lui racheter son domaine à bas prix...
Jean de Florette (1962), premier volume clé L'Eau des collines, marque, trente, ans après Pirouettes, le retour de Pagnol au roman. C'est l'épopée de l'eau nourricière sans laquelle rien n'est possible.
Marcel Pagnol y développe l'histoire du père de Manon, évoquée sous forme de flash-back dans le film Manon des sources (1952). Les dialogues sont savoureux, et la prose aussi limpide que dans les Souvenirs d'enfance. Quant, au Papet et à Ugolin, à la fois drôles et terrifiants, ils sont parmi les créations les plus complexes de Pagnol.
« Tu comprends, s'ils avaient bu l'eau de la citerne, c'est sûr qu'ils seraient morts tous les trois, et moi ça m'aurait embêté. D'avoir bouché la source, c'est pas criminel : c'est pour les oeillets. Mais si, à cause de ça, il y avait des morts, eh bien peut-être qu'après nous n'en parlerions pas, mais nous y penserions. »
