Description: Three Folio Society classic literature books: Le Grand Meaulnes by Henri Alain-FournierThe Land of Lost Content. There is no doubting the classic status of Alain-Fournier’s Le Grand Meaulnes. A poll of French readers a dozen years ago placed it sixth of all 20th-century books, just behind Proust and Camus, most French people read it at school. Fifteen-year-old François Seurel narrates the story of his relationship with seventeen-year-old Augustin Meaulnes as Meaulnes searches for his lost love. Impulsive, reckless and heroic, Meaulnes embodies the romantic ideal, the search for the unobtainable, and the mysterious world between childhood and adulthood. Cold Comfort Farm by Stella GibbonsCold Comfort Farm is a comic novel by English author Stella Gibbons, published in 1932. It parodies the romanticised, sometimes doom-laden accounts of rural life popular at the time. A classic satire of English Country Life. Cold Comfort Farm tells the story of Flora Poste – young, sophisticated, and determined – who leaves fashionable London to visit ‘Cold Comfort Farm’ in deepest Sussex, where she transforms the lives of her unruly relatives, the Starkadders. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 88 on the BBC’s survey The Big Read. Les Enfants Terribles by Jean CocteauLes Enfants Terribles is a 1929 novel by Jean Cocteau. It concerns two siblings, Elisabeth and Paul, who isolate themselves from the world as they grow up, an isolation which is shattered by the stresses of their adolescence.
