Fielding Gray: A Roman Novel (Almosen fürs Vergessen Book 1)
The revised content is as follows:
The German translation of the novel series "Alms for Oblivion" now allows Simon Raven to be discovered in Germany as well. The ten novels, each of which can be read independently, span the years 1945 to 1973 and are more or less loosely connected to the life of the English professional soldier and writer Fielding Gray, who was stationed in India, Cyprus, and Germany after his service. The narratives are interwoven through the members of a group of privileged boarding school students who, in the first volume "Fielding Gray," are poised to ascend to various political, journalistic, economic, and military positions in British society. Simon Raven tells a touching, fearless, and highly entertaining story of how "human effort and goodwill are constantly exposed to the insidious workings of time, chance, and the rest of humanity." An elitist educational system, the collapse of the British Empire, the Suez Crisis and the Cold War, the development of nuclear weapons and the student revolt form the backdrop against which the moral hubris and human weaknesses of the British upper class and the increasingly influential "upper middle class" are put into focus.
Fielding Gray is the brilliant star of the school. Brilliant in Latin and Greek, he also shines in cricket and manages to captivate everyone with his attractiveness, eloquence, and a charming tendency towards recklessness. Shortly before he starts his final school year in 1945, he falls in love with the reserved blond Christopher, fascinated mainly by his innocence. Although his best friend warns him of a possible scandal and a rival for the position of school captain is obviously keeping a close eye on him, a tragedy is looming - and even outside the school, Fielding Gray's promising future begins to waver. "Fielding Gray" is a moving novel about friendship and disappointed expectations, desire and fateful failure, manipulative machinations, and guilt.
