Descrizione libro hardcover. Condizione: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. London. 1984. Gollancz. 1st British Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0575034173. 160 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Pat Doyle. keywords: Literature Scotland . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Not, be it noted, in Hell: as he lies dying, Mr Trill, a classics master by profession and inclination, sees himself being ferried across the Styx to the appropriate land of shades. What he sees and hears there of his heroes and heroines is deeply disillusioning: Agamemnon and Achilles revealed as simple-minded braggarts, Hector as lusting for Helen, Ulysses as treacherous and false. Encounters with Orpheus and Sisyphus, with Dido and her chronicler Vergil, prove even more disturbing. Retreats into memories of his own past his bullied boyhood, his fear of women provide no comfort. He begins to question even his chosen career and its values. When offered the alternatives of an eternity of academe or a return to the world in some different guise, he opts for a street corner, selling newspapers. Are we to take this ambivalent conclusion to a strikingly imaginative novella as a rejection or an assertion of values? The answer is perhaps to be found in the six shorter stories that accompany it. In varying ways, these too are all of them reflections in a schoolmaster's eye. Some- times we see the teachers, sharply and lucidly, through the eyes of the children; sometimes the children, baffling and unreachable, through the eyes of a teacher. A boy observes with puzzled detachment the end of a secret romance between two of his teachers (The Ring), A class plays along with a teacher whose obsessive horror of war leads him far from the subject he should be teaching (Greater Love). A teacher who despairs of getting any response from his backward class at last finds a way of reaching them (The Play). In each story an essential theme is the bond, however unacknowledged, between [please turn to back flap the generations. On the other hand, In the School turns upon a lost, embittered youth's intention to destroy his school, and this ends in a scene of apocalyptic terror which truly introduces us to the Hell which is so remote from Mr Trill's vision. Iain Crichton Smith once again proves himself to be a challenging writer who, however delicate, sympathetic and humane his approach, and however subtle his Ironies, is confronting vital and timeless issues. inventory #639.
