1. Il Grande Meaulnes
Narrated by François Seurel, it follows his friendship with the charismatic and haunted Augustin Meaulnes, who during adolescence wanders into a mysterious estate and a magical, secret celebration where he falls in love with Yvonne de Galais; obsessed with re-finding that lost world and the impossible love it promised, he embarks on a quixotic quest whose failures and sacrifices expose themes of longing, memory, and the bitter loss of youthful idealism.
