... It is the price one pays for having so many books that one ultimately has to move them.
Well my consolation with Le Grand Meaulnes that it is short and if you all don't like it it won't have taken much time. I actuallly had one of those magical runs of very good books about the time I ... Watch out Marensr, I want to read Le Grand Meaulnes now too! If it's no good, you'll have a lot to answer for! Interestingly enough, I came across the mention of Le Grand Meaulnes while reading The Way I found Her by Rose Tremain.
Now I feel compelled to go look for a copy.
Amazon, here I come!!!!!! ... twice. I love those little quiet books that do a lot with what isn't said and what takes place in the small and everyday. Le Grand Meaulnes did that for me as well. June: Le Grand Meaulnes by Alain Fournier
July: Lazy Eye by Donna daley-Clarke ... au voyage.... in the spirit not only of Baudelaire and the surrealists, but The Chouans, The Domain of Arnheim and Le Grand Meaulnes. There is this idea of adventure as a sort of crucible, or initiatory event -dangerous and beautiful. Very like the tale of Perceval and Ernst Juenger' ... ... novels all seem informed by the work of Poe (the decadent, gothic atmosphere), Chretien de Troyes and Allain-Fournier's Le Grand Meaulnes. His narratives evolve around an ordinary life gradually infected by the longing for some insinuated, but nonetheless potent, opportunity. The intrusion ... ... mystery (as in Chateau d'Argol), of a cruise into the Domain of Arnheim (a tale mentioned in the book, along with Le Grand Meaulnes - which it also resembles). Life refined, filtered through art (I love books like this - Paul West's memoir, Oxford Days, comes to mind). Meaulnes by Palace Music or Palace Brothers or just Palace (hard to keep track) #73 wonderlake: I, too, found Le Grand Meaulnes unsatisfying. I finished Le Grand Meaulnes and think I'm going to start The Handmaid's Tale next, which will be a re-read, but from so long ago that I can't remember much at all.
I found Le Grand Meaulnes ...unsatisfying.
*spoiler
The word 'romantic' was used in the blurb, in that case why ... ... "one of those traditionally rural regions of France that help keep alive the national self-image", lovely!
I'm reading The grand Meaulnes. ... the closest you'll get but not with an American accent. More like how the Queen would pronounce "moan".
Anyhoo, I read Le Grand Meaulnes this year so will be interested to hear what you think. Hooray I started a new book- The Grand Meaulnes- can anyone give me a tip on pronunciation ?
There is a translators note that says it sounds like moans ? ... stick up for themselves well. But Train Man was the defining book of my teenage years. It's like the internet generation's Le Grand Meaulnes... even better than that in my opinion. I would appreciate it if we all read that, so you could experience a bit of my world for yourself.
So how about ... ... again. These are books I am bound to either by rereading or my original experience of them.

9 Flame Tre ... Finished Le Grand Meaulnes (THe Lost Estate) by Henri Alain-Fournier and found it a bit melodramatic. Now I've started The Gathering by Anne Enright and I immediately like the way she writes. I'm in France, 1890s: Le Grand Meaulnes by Alain-Fournier. ... Grand Meaulnes is not part of the 1001 books (perhaps it's hiding under its most common titles in English translation, The wanderer or The lost domain), it should be! It is a very great book, a true classic of 20th century French literature. Bookmooch Le Grand Meaulnes by Henri Alain-Fournier arrived, and goes straight to the top of my TBR pile- I tackle mine alphabetically :)
Can't quite remember why I mooched it in the first place, I don't think it's part of the 1,001 to read before you die ...

50.Le Grand Meaulnes (The Lost Estate) by Henri Alain-Fournier (France) Le Grand Meaulnes is mentioned to be stolen by Sal Paradise in On the Road. Anybody read Alain Fournier's Le Grand Meaulnes? There was an articel about this early 20th century novel in the Sunday paper and it brought back memories of studying it for 'A' Level French way back when. I only remembered the atmosphere and very little of the loose plot. ... of Victorian adventure fiction set in India. I think I'd like to read the real thing before I read the pastiche.
Le Grand Meaulnes by Henri Alain-Fournier
Because I loved Black Swan Green by David Mitchell! I will be reading it in English, though.
The Ragged Trousered Philanthr ... Le Grand Meaulnes by Alain Fournier was my first and because it ws in the VIth form it was in French. After leaving school, I read in translation Guy de Maupassant short stories, followed by Flaubert's Madame Bovary. It wasn't until I was in my 40s that my head was blown away by Albert Camu ...
