«Le médianoche amoureux» is a collection of short stories by Michel Tournier, published by Folio in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The work opens with two figures lying on the sand of Tombelaine, like statues sculpted on the shore, while Mont-Saint-Michel emerges through the mist. Tournier then unfolds a set of stories where landscape, body and desire merge with biblical echoes in prose of strong visual intensity.
The work was originally published in 1989; this 1991 edition corresponds to number 2290 of the Folio collection and includes the complete text.
Recommended for students of French and for readers interested in contemporary French literature and in Michel Tournier's short fiction.
