Devon School, an exclusive prep school for boys in New Hampshire, is a world unto itself. But it’s the summer of 1942, and the massive thundercloud of World War II threatens the school’s peaceful environment. Paralleling the war, where enemies real and imagined are sometimes collaborated with and sometimes destroyed, is the friendship between Gene and Phineas, two students attending the 1942 summer session at Devon. Their idyllic world begins to fall apart as the war escalates, and suspicion and the complexities of adolescence result in violence and betrayal.
A Separate Peace has become a modern classic.

The story that inspired the bestselling classic A Separate Peace and two other coming-of-age tales exploring themes of disillusionment, self-discovery, and friendship, originally published in the 1950s.John Knowles’s A Separate Peace is an American classic; a timeless portrayal of adolescence and the loss of innocence that comes with it. Set in a New England prep school resembling Knowles’s own from boyhood, the novel resonated across generations. This newly published collection of three stories occupies that same world. In “A Turn with the Sun,” Lawrence, an outsider from Virginia, is plucked from obscurity and finds himself both beguiled and repulsed by the school’s most elite boys. In “Summer Street,” Mel is on the precipice of change with departure for boarding school imminent, and muses about running away. In “Phineas,” our unnamed narrator—whom Knowles later shaped into the character of Gene in A Separate Peace—bonds with his new roommate, nicknamed Finny, who lives by a personal code rather than a social one and ultimately prompts our narrator to be honest with who he really is. In each of these stories, John Knowles deftly explore the victories and anxieties of boyhood, the politics of prep school, the ways money percolates through the world, and what friendship can look like in spaces where power subtly trades hands. - Häftad, Engelska, 2021
