Le temps qui passe, l'évocation des souvenirs et le drame de la jeunesse s'inscrivent aisément dans ce joli texte à plume classique. Fermina Marquez est de ces livres où l'on se demande parfois si un héros de quinze ans peut ressentir ces sentiments-là et avoir ces idées. Aden, Arabie sans l'emportement de Nizan. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Or, most impressively, Fermina Marquez herself--sister of another student, and the beloved of all the older young men--looks to be nothing more than a handy catalyst for the young men to come of age at, perhaps a gauzy symbol of the unattainable Love. Then she turns out to be a model of Spanish Catholicism, almost inhumanly pious. But then she falls in love, and renounces her religious mania in favor of sensuality. But instead of this being a Love conquers Intolerance moment, she's deeply ambivalent about her behavior. Was she simply a hypocrite? What has she lost?
Also, Larbaud handles first person plural narration far more effectively than, e.g., Eugenides in The Virgin Suicides.
Another literary mystery for me to obsess over: How 'Le Grand Meaulnes' is a Penguin Classic, while this is out of print. Larbaud himself seems like a fascinating character, too; he translated Joyce, Samuel Butler and Thomas Browne. ( )
