Summary/Abstract: Disappointed with the immediate reality, with a world in which they feel misunderstood and that they fail to understand, and with the thirst for adventure typical of their age, the teenagers in the novel Grand Meaulnes by Alain-Fournier try to take refuge in dreams and imaginary worlds where they can accomplish their hopes and expectations. Throughout the novel, the real elements intertwine with the imaginary aspects that are being provided by the heroes’ sensibility and quest for evasion.
