"Meaulnes the Great" is the title of a 2014 bas-relief (130 cm x 140 cm) carved in limewood by the French artist Jean-Louis Berthod from Albens, Savoy. The relief was inspired by Alain-Fournier's book and is a tribute to the missing people of World War I. The book is the inspiration for the song 'My Yvonne', the ninth track from UK singer-songwriter Jack Peñate's debut album, Matinée, featuring backing vocals from a then unknown Adele. Adele is not credited as a featured artist on the song; however, she is credited as a backing vocalist in the album's booklet. Appearances in other works Le Grand Meaulnes is the only book that Sal Paradise carries with him on his travels, in Jack Kerouac's On the Road. In the work To Live to Tell the Tale of Gabriel García Márquez, he remembers a crew mate from his youth that was an insatiable reader and had this as one of the books that would later become one of the author's preferred literary masterpieces.
