Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the stark halls of a nearly derelict and forgotten free-school in 18th century England. As an alumnus of the institution, the author reconstructs his time there as a boy, from a student's perspective, immersed in the strict traditions and bleak landscape surrounding Seaward House. The memoir employs vivid descriptions of the school's physical state, daily routines and harsh disciplinary measures, through which the author explores themes of defiance, loneliness, power and retribution. The author's recollections delve into a past where the boundary between adolescent high jinks and dangerous folly was a fine one, testing the limits of youthful bravado. Ultimately, this book provides a profound look at the lasting impact that formative experiences, both good and bad, can have on us.
