After returning, ‘Le Grand Meaulnes’ embarks on a search to find again the lost manor and the happiness he found there.

Der Schriftsteller Alain-Fournier schrieb den Roman Le Grand Meaulnes (deutsch: Der große Kamerad) im Jahr 1913. Er spielt in den 90er Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der Ich-Erzähler ist der jüngere Freund der Hauptfigur Augustin Meaulnes (gesprochen "Mon"). Er berichtet über dessen Schulzeit, Abenteuer und die unerfüllte Liebe zu der schönen und zerbrechlichen Adeligen Yvonne de Galais.

Le Grand Meaulnes is a story of the end of youth, with its sense of wonder and idealism, and the transition to adulthood and experience. In a story which exquisitely blends realism with a hint of fantasy, Augustin Meaulnes is haunted by the memory of a beautiful girl briefly encountered in a fantastic 'domain'. However, Meaulnes finds himself unable to return there both physically and emotionally. An acknowledged modern classic, Le Grand Meaulnes is offered here in a new translation which is more sympathetic to the poetic original than previous editions.
