Il est entré dans sa vie comme s'il y avait sa place depuis toujours et François, le fils de l'instituteur de Sainte-Agathe, se souvient à peine du temps précédant son arrivée. Ce grand garçon aux cheveux coupés ras comme un paysan du Cher, cet Augustin Meaulnes, suscite naturellement l'admiration et tous, à l'école, l'appellent maintenant le grand Meaulnes. Un jour d'hiver, peu avant Noël, Meaulnes disparaît... William Mesguich incarne avec force et émotion le personnage-narrateur de François Seurel. Comme une évidence, sa voix juste et claire, teintée d'une grâce passée, nous emmène sur les traces du grand Meaulnes, à la recherche du domaine perdu, entre souvenir, rêve et réalité, aux frontières du merveilleux.

      Henri-Alban Fournier's classic 1913 French novel is the only one he wrote before dying in WWI. The plot is simple--village schoolboy Franois befriends charismatic older schoolmate Augustin Meaulnes. Meaulnes tells Franois that when lost one day, he had stumbled across a mysterious country estate (the domain), where he fell in love with a beautiful girl. From then on, Franois and Meaulnes try, and fail, to find the girl and lost domain again. Told in intense, evocative prose, this is a story about the magical nature of childhood, and about how, upon entering adulthood, we leave behind part of that magic, which we can never find again. Michael Maloney reads clearly, with excellent pacing in a pleasant, medium-range voice. However, he is overly affected by the book's sense of nostalgia and mystery. He often employs a tone of alarmed wonder, which diminishes, rather than enhances, the story. This tendency diminishes about half-way through the book. All in all, a creditable reading of a true classic. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
