Book summary

One Sunday in November, Augustin Meaulnes, a daring teenager, arrives at the school in Sainte-Agathe and fascinates François, the schoolmaster's son. During an escapade, Meaulnes gets lost and comes to a mysterious estate where a strange celebration is being prepared. There he meets a young woman he will never stop searching for.

A novel of adolescence, dreams and nostalgia, which keeps alive the memory of that moment when we believe anything is possible.

François tells the story as a memory, and the novel is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.
