HENRY ALAIN FOURNIER

Meaulnes handia frantsesezko eleberri irakurrienetakoa da (1913az geroztik 5 miliotik gora ale saldu dira poltsikoko edizioan), klasiko bihurtua. Ehunka nerabe identifikatu dira heroi idealista, zoritxarreko eta abenturazale horrekin, eta harekin amets egin. Oroimenean gorde dituzte herriko eskolako eszenak, gaztelu miresgarri baten aurkikuntza edo neska maitatuaren agerpena eta galera. Baina liburua irakurterreza bada ere, eta maiz gazteentzako irakurgai gisa gomendatzen den arren, horrek ez du ezertan mugatu lanaren irakurle mota, eta ez da inola ere oztopo irakurketa konplexuago baterako. Nagusiki nerabe batek nerabeentzat idatzitako nerabe historia bat bada ere, baditu hainbat elementu edo alderdi eleberrigintzaren joera garrantzitsuekin lotzen dutenak.

When Meaulnes first arrives at the local school in Sologne, everyone is captivated by his good looks, daring and charisma. But when he disappears for several days, and returns with tales of a strange party at a mysterious house and a beautiful girl hidden within it, Meaulnes has been changed forever. In his restless search for the happiness he found there, Meaulnes, observed by his loyal friend François, may risk losing everything he ever had. Poised between youthful admiration and adult resignation, Alain-Fournier's compelling narrator carries the reader through a moving portrayal of vanished adolescence.
