The Lost Estate (Le Grand Meaulnes) by Alain-Fournier

Novel
Published in 1913 (in French) as Le Grand Meaulnes, this little novel depicts that mysterious, dreamlike space between boyhood and manhood. Lost in a romantic fog, Meaulnes chases elusive fantasies of love, beauty, and innocence. The author died in action at the age of 28. This is his only novel.
