The novel follows the adolescent narrator François Seurel and his charismatic schoolfellow Augustin Meaulnes, whose chance discovery of a mysterious fête in a lost domain sets in motion a haunting story of romantic longing, lost youth, and the irreversibility of time. Widely regarded as one of the great French novels of the twentieth century, it has never been out of print.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alain-Fournier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55515217002836,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/5972\/1556\/files\/le-grand-meaulnes-alain-fournier-1600x1600-0552.jpg?v=1775828548","url":"https:\/\/www.alexanderdavidfinebooks.co.uk\/products\/le-grand-meaulnes-alain-fournier-editions-emile-paul-paris-c-1930s","provider":"Alexander David Fine Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
