Alain-Fournier, was born in 1886 in La Chapelle-d'Angillon in the
Cher region of France. His book "Le Grand Meaulnes" is about
adolescence and regret for that which is lost. Jennifer Hashmi has
not tried to transform Le Grand Meaulnes into an English version of
a French novel. The poetic style of the original has been left
intact, pointing always to something unattainable. Alain-Fournier
communicates in hints, recollections, and frequent ellipses when
Francois leaves the reader to intuit the rest for himself. Ms.
Hashmi has adhered to the French wording and gaps in order to
retain the intangible quality of Alain-Fournier's narrative. The
story is about searching for that which is lost, lost youth, lost
people, and is told by Francois who narrates all that is precious
in his memory of Augustin Meaulnes, who changed his life for ever,
and the lives of all of his class at Sainte-Agathe.
