John Knowles

    16. september 1926 – 29. november 2001

    John Knowles sa preslávil svojím debutovým románom, ktorý majstrovsky zachytáva zložitosť dospievania a premenlivosť medziľudských vzťahov na pozadí prestížnej internátnej školy. Jeho písanie vyniká prenikavou psychologickou hĺbkou a schopnosťou vykresliť tenkú hranicu medzi priateľstvom, súťaživosťou a nevyslovenými emóciami. Knowles sa sústredil na skúmanie tém nevinnosti, straty a hľadania identity, pričom často čerpal z vlastných skúseností, aby vytvoril živé a uveriteľné prostredie pre svoje postavy. Jeho literárny štýl sa vyznačuje precíznou dikciou a evokatívnymi opismi, ktoré čitateľov vtiahnu do vnútra prežívaného sveta.

      Pete is a sensitive, handsome young war hero. Wexford is a defiant, scheming troublemaker. 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.
