"A Harvest/HBJ book"
"A Helen and Kurt Wolff book."
A sheltered sixteen-year-old Jewish boy in Ferrara reflects on a critical period of his schooldays in 1929-1930. He makes friends with the leader of the class, a boy with the right looks and the right religion, and with a new boy who joins the class--another "outsider". While the young Jew is shy and naive, the newcomer is aggressive, cynical, sexually unihibited. Bassani subtly explores the relations of the three boys, as events lead to a shattering betrayal of trust.
