Used book – Le Grand Meaulnes, Alain Fournier, Daniel Leuwers

To read Le Grand Meaulnes is to embark on adventures that demand incessant retrospection, as if the spur of happiness must always be reflected in the disturbing and trembling mirror of childhood, scrutinized by the feverish gaze of adolescence. The wonder of this novel lies in a secret pendulum motion where time courts its own abolition, while the rumor of a strange celebration rises, its haunting growing stronger as existence irrevocably moves away from it.
