The Magnificent Meaulnes (Le Grand Meaulnes) (Vintage Classics)

*A copy of this book is in Roger Scruton's library, displayed in the shop*

When Augustin Meaulnes arrives in François' home, he changes everything. Life in the little town where they both go to school suddenly becomes far more adventurous and exciting.

• On one of his escapades, Meaulnes gets lost in the countryside and finds himself at an extraordinary party.
• There, he meets the girl of his dreams.

From this point on, he is haunted by her memory and devotes his life—with François' willing help—to finding her again.
