Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. A solitary, dreaming boy is sent to a celebrated boarding school that worships games, conformity, and worldly success. He withers under its cruelties and smug pieties, sustained only by memories of a lost home and by glimpses of a radiance the people around him cannot see.As he grows, an inheritance reaches him out of the first dim centuries of British Christianity: the rumour of the Holy Grail, and a faith older and stranger than anything taught in chapel. It draws him out of ordinary life and toward an ecstasy his elders can only call madness.By turns a savage satire of the modern schoolroom and a rapturous vision of the unseen, the story follows a soul convinced that the visible world is a thin veil stretched over an unbearable glory - and willing to follow that conviction to its furthest and most costly end. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781667668451
