| Summary | "Miracles" by Alain-Fournier is an introspective novel written in the early 20th century. The work delves into themes of memory, idealism, and the elusive nature of reality, exploring the complexities of human emotions and relationships. Central to the narrative is the figure of Alain-Fournier himself, whose life and aspirations resonate throughout the text, alongside his friendships and musings on love and art. The opening of "Miracles" establishes a reflective tone, as it introduces a narrator recounting his profound connection with Alain-Fournier, forged during their school years. The sections reveal discussions on literature, friendships, and the emotional turmoil experienced by Fournier, particularly in relation to his unfulfilled desires and idealized views of women. As their friendship develops, the narrator observes Fournier's passion for poetry and literature—especially the Symbolist movement—which echoes the intricate tapestry of their youthful introspection and emotional quests. The beginning sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Fournier's literary journey, his relationships, and his quest for meaning amid the fleeting illusions of life.
