![]() ![]() ![]() A bestseller for more than thirty years, A Separate Peace is John Knowles’s crowning achievement and an undisputed American classic. What happens between the two friends one summer, like the war itself, banishes the innocence of these boys and their world. Phineas is a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete. Gene is a lonely, introverted intellectual. 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. Annotation: An American classic and great bestseller for over thirty years, A Separate Peace is timeless in its description of adolescence during a period when the entire country was losing its innocence to the second world war. ![]()
