"Den sorte skole" er fjerde bind af Marcel Pagnols (1895-1974) barndomserindringer fra Provence. Denne gang er det ikke den ubekymrede ferietilværelse i bjergene, der fortælles om, men livet i latinskolen i Marseille, hvor Marcel til forældrenes stolthed har konkurreret sig til en friplads. Pagnol fortæller muntert om lærerne med alle deres særheder og om skoledrengene og deres ballader. Om spisesalen, hvis vægge er plettet af linsegrød, som generationer af elever har kastet derop i lede over denne alt for hyppige frokostret, og om læsestuen, hvor den vagthavende må holde jernhård disciplin for at bevare roen blandt de livlige drenge.
