paperback. Condizione: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. New York. 2001. Scribner. Advance Uncorrected Proofs. Very Good in Wrappers. 0684865009. 223 pages. paperback. keywords: African American Literature America Women. DESCRIPTION - Latin instructor Jerome Washington is a man out of place. The lone African-American teacher at the Chelsea School, an all-boys boarding school in Connecticut, he has championed the classical virtues of rigor and discipline since he was hired nearly two decades ago. Nicknamed 'Wooden Washington' by his students, he has spent his career - and his life - at Chelsea trying not to appear too 'racial': He is reserved, controlled, seemingly content with his isolated life.' 'Into his classroom one autumn morning steps Rashid Bryson, a promising African-American student from New York City. He sees in Washington a potential ally, a man who is sure to understand the younger man's need to find his bearings in this citadel of the white status quo. But to Bryson's surprise and dismay, Washington responds unexpectedly to him. It is up to Jana Hansen, herself a newcomer to Chelsea, to come to Bryson's aid. A middle-aged white divorcee who used to teach public school in Cleveland, she is as foreign to the sylvan self-possession of the Chelsea School as Washington and Bryson are.' As the three get to know one another, and as they struggle with their individual loss, they begin their journey toward an inevitable and ultimately tragic confrontation that is both painful and life-altering. Told from three different perspectives, The Fall of Rome explores powerful and timely issues as it unfolds inexorably, like the classical tragedies that were the glory of ancient civilizations. inventory #29788.
