| Le Grand Meaulnes
| | Alain-Fournier
| When Meaulnes first arrives in Sologne, everyone is captivated by his good looks, daring, and charisma. But when he attends a strange party at a mysterious house with a beautiful girl hidden inside, he is changed forever. This evocative novel has at its center both a Peter Pan in provincial France-a kid who refuses to grow up-and a Parsifal, pursuing his love to the ends of the earth. Poised between youthful admiration and adult resignation, Alain- Fournier's narrator compellingly carries the reader through this indelible portrait of desperate friendship and vanished adolescence.
Nous habitions les bâtiments du Cour Supérieur de Sainte-Agathe. Mon père que j'appelais M. Seurel comme les autres élèves y dirigeait à la fois le Cours supérieur où l'on préparait le brevet d'instituteur et le Cours moyen. Ma mère faisait la petite classe.
