My Fathers Glory My Mothers Castle Marcel Pagnols Memories Of Childhood ★ Exclusive Deal

Marcel Pagnol’s memoirs, My Father's Glory and My Mother's Castle

1. Logline

At the dawn of the 20th century, a young Marcel Pagnol navigates the competing influences of his skeptical, academic father and his sentimental, pious mother during a series of idyllic summers in the Provençal hills, where hunting expeditions and secret castle visits forge the memories that will define his soul. Marcel Pagnol’s memoirs, My Father's Glory and My

are more than just memoirs; they are a timeless love letter to a childhood bathed in the golden light of southern France. Writing late in life, the legendary filmmaker captured the "sweet enchantments" of his youth with a clarity that makes the scent of wild thyme and lavender nearly leap off the page. Writing late in life, the legendary filmmaker captured

Published in 1957, this first volume introduces Pagnol's family and his early life in Aubagne and Marseille. Starring Philippe Caubère as the adult Marcel (as

Part Six: From Page to Screen – Yves Robert’s Beloved Adaptations

No discussion of Pagnol’s childhood memoirs is complete without mentioning the 1990 film adaptations by Yves Robert. Starring Philippe Caubère as the adult Marcel (as narrator) and Julien Ciamaca as young Marcel, these films (My Father’s Glory and My Mother’s Castle) are among the most successful literary adaptations in cinema history.

  1. Hi Ben,
    Great article and a very comprehensive provisioning guide! Things are moving very fast at snom and the snom 7xx devices (except currently the 715) are now supplied automatically as “Lync ready” and can be easily provisioned straight out of the box. A simple command of text into the Lync Powershell and voila!

    You can find all the details here:

  2. Hi Jason, Thanks. It’s good to hear that’s an option, this post was based off a mini customer deployment we had a few months ago…
    (Also can’t wait to test out the upcoming BToE implementation)

  3. Hi Ben,

    just stumbled across your great article. Please note the guide still available (now) here:
    http://downloads.snom.com/snomuc/documentation/2012-02-06_Update-Guide-SIP-to-UC.pdf

    is kind of superseded by the fact that for about 2-3 years the carton box FW image (still standard SIP) supports the UC edition documented MS hardcoded ucupdates-r2 record:

    “not registered”: In this state the device uses the static DNS A record ucupdates-r2. as described in TechNet “Updating Devices” under: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412864.aspx.

    In short: zero-touch with DNS alias or A record is possible. SIP FW will not register but ask for the CAB upload based UC FW and auto-pull it if approved (but only if device was never registered: fresh from box or f-reset).

    btw: the SIP to UC guide was made as temporally workaround, but I guess the XML templates still provide a good start line.

    Also kind of superseded with Lync Inband Support for Snom settings:

    another great tool – powershell on steroids with Snom UC & SIP: http://realtimeuc.com/2014/09/invoke-snomcontrol/
    (a must see !)

    Please dont mind if I was a bit advertising.

    Thanks and greetings from Berlin, also to @Nat,

  4. Fantastic article! Thanks for sharing. We’ll be transitioning our Snom 760s to provision from Lync shortly.

    Are there any licensing concerns involved?

  5. Thanks Susan,
    From a licensing point of view you need to make sure you have the UC license for the SNOM phones and on the Lync side if you are doing Enterprise Voice need a Plus CAL for the user concerned…

    Hope that helps?
