A Separate Peace
Autor John Knowlesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 aug 2025
AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 'A GOOD READ'
'A novel that made such a deep impression on me at sixteen that I can still conjure the atmosphere in my fifties: of yearning, infatuation mingled indistinguishably with envy, and remorse' Lionel Shriver
An American coming-of-age tale during a period when the entire country was losing its innocence to the second world war.
Set at a boys' boarding school in New England during the early years of World War II, A Separate Peace is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of adolescence. Gene is a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas is a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete.
What happens between the two friends one summer, like the war itself, banishes the innocence of these boys and their world.

Recenzii
Aubrey Menen
"The Observer" A model of restraint, deeply felt and beautifully written.
"Warren Miller" Mr. Knowles has something to say about youth and war that few contemporary novelists have attempted to say and none has said better.
"National Review" A masterpiece.
Aubrey Menen I think it is the best-written, best-designed, and most moving novel I have read in many years. Beginning with a tiny incident among ordinary boys, it ends by being as deep and as big as evil itself.
