À la fin du xixe siècle, par un froid dimanche de novembre, un garçon de quinze ans, François Seurel, qui habite auprès de ses parents instituteurs une longue maison rouge –l’école du village–, attend la venue d’Augustin que sa mère a décidé de mettre ici en pension pour qu’il suive le cours supérieur: l’arrivée du grand Meaulnes à Sainte-Agathe va bouleverser l’enfance finissante de François… • Lorsqu’en 1913 paraît le roman d’AlainFournier, bien des thèmes qu’il met en scène –saltimbanques, fêtes enfantines, domaines mystérieux– appartiennent à la littérature passée, et le lecteur songe à Nerval et à Sylvie. Mais en dépassant le réalisme du xixe siècle pour s’établir, entre aventure et nostalgie, aux frontières du merveilleux, il ouvre à un monde d’une sensibilité toujours frémissante, et qui n’a pas vieilli
