This story is essentially about a close friend of the narrator, who has the nickname "Le Grand Meaulnes". He has a rather unlikely [it sounded to me] adventure, which results in his meeting the love of his life. Later on he ends up marrying her and then abandons her while she is pregnant to go on another unlikely quest. She dies soon after the baby is born and he returns later.
Maybe I'm missing something. Perhaps there are some essential metaphors that I'm not seeing, but I found the story unconvincing and a bit dull. Win some, lose some.
