The undiscovered poems of beloved French writer Alain-Fournier, published here in English. Alain-Fournier, the pseudonym of Henri-Alban Fournier, had a brief but significant literary career as the author of Le Grand Meaulnes (1913), which today is considered a classic of French literature. Killed during the First World War as an army lieutenant at the age of just twenty-seven, most of his writing was published posthumously, including his poems, essays, letters, and the notes on his second novel Colombe Blanchet which remained unfinished due to his untimely death. In this collection, the beloved French writer's poems are made available in English for the first time.
