From the Publisher:
Gene was a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas was a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete. What happened between them at school one summer during the early years of World War II is the subject of A Separate Peace. A great bestseller for over thirty years--one of the most starkly moving parables ever written of the dark forces that brood over the tortured world of adolescence.
From the Back Cover:
"I think it is the best-written, best-designed and most moving novel I have read in many years. Beginning with a tiny incident among ordinary boys, it ends by being as deep and as big as evil itself." -- Aubrey Menen
"A quietly vital and cleanly written novel that moves, page by page, towards a most interesting target." -- Truman Capote
"Is he the successor to Salinger for whom we have been waiting so long? -- Encounter.
"A masterpiece." -- National Review.
