John Knowles Livres
16 septembre 1926 – 29 novembre 2001
John Knowles a acquis une renommée grâce à son premier roman, qui capture magistralement les complexités de l'adolescence et les dynamiques changeantes des relations au sein des vénérables murs d'une école privée d'élite. Son écriture excelle par sa profondeur psychologique pénétrante et sa capacité à dépeindre la frontière ténue entre l'amitié, la rivalité et les émotions inexprimées. Knowles s'est concentré sur l'exploration des thèmes de l'innocence, de la perte et de la recherche d'identité, s'inspirant souvent de son expérience personnelle pour créer des cadres vivants et crédibles pour ses personnages. Son style littéraire se caractérise par une diction précise et des descriptions évocatrices qui transportent le lecteur au cœur du monde vécu.

Their lives collide in the uneasy days of peace after World War II as senior year at the Devon School changes from a time of friendships into a stunning drama of tragic betrayal. With the unforgettable power and simplicity that made A Separate Peace into a modern classic, this masterful companion volume by John Knowles takes us once again on a warmly nostalgic journey through the poignancy of adolescence — and gives us another landmark portrayal of the dark side of the human heart.
