Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a captivating exploration of education and its role in shaping young minds. The narrative revolves around Percival, a ten-year-old boy with a passion for heraldry, poetry, and the allure of the medieval world. As his mother and guardian contemplate his future schooling, they engage in a thought-provoking debate about the ideal approach to education. The story unfolds against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, where traditional classical education clashes with emerging scientific perspectives. The author skillfully weaves together philosophical discussions on the nature of knowledge, the significance of imagination, and the balance between the pursuit of truth and the allure of adventure. Through the contrasting viewpoints of Percival's guardian, a pragmatic engineer, and his uncle, a retired naval officer with a penchant for romanticism, the book examines the tension between the "scientific" and the "imaginative" approaches to learning. It delves into profound questions about the purpose of education, the value of literature and history, and the role of personal experiences in shaping one's understanding of the world. Ultimately, this book's insights challenge conventional notions of education and invite readers to consider the enduring power of imagination and the importance of nurturing a sense of wonder in the face of a changing world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330331705_0
