Description
FIRST EDITION with an introduction of a hundred pages by Jacques Rivière.
Press office copy, complete with insert presenting the work and the author :
"Before writing the Grand Meaulnes and even during the time he was working on it, Alain-Fournier had given to various magazines tales, not fantastic, but more exactly marvellous: the familiar and peasant life showed its romantic and supernatural side without the author having recourse, it seemed, to the least machine. It is these Miracles which will be found in the present volume".

"Tribute from the preface to Europe
Jacques Rivière"
