Separate Peace by John Knowles
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.A bestseller for more than thirty years, A Separate Peace is John Knowles's crowning achievement and an undisputed American classic.
John Knowles (1926-2001) attended Yale University and Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. A Separate Peace, his first novel, was published in 1959 and made into a film in 1972. Showtime remade it as a television movie again in 2004. He published seven novels, a travel book, and a collection of short tales. He received the National Institute of Arts and Letters' William Faulkner Award and the Rosenthal Award.
