- Summary
- Written by Henri De Montherlant in 1969, the story is set in France of the 1910's, and reflects all of the society of that time. It is a dark and brooding story of the friendship between two schoolboys. A constricting cloud of Catholicism permeates the story, and acts as one of the heavies in the plot. Alban, sixteen years old and the heir to a dukedom, joins a new school. Here he discovers a culture, officially encouraged by the teachers, where the boys form close attachments. He pairs off with the younger Serge, who is only fourteen. The two are attracted to each other, and fall in love. While falling in love and forming a couple is OK, the school applies a high moral tone, and forbids any intimacies beyond hand holding and kissing.
