  • "In the glowing English Summer of 1900, an impressionable boy of twelve went for a long visit to the home of one of his school friends. At this country house in Norfolk, he suffered the pangs of puppy love for Marian Maudsley, the adorable young lady of the family, and became deeply involved as unwitting go-between in her passionate love affair with a farmer in he neighborhood. Fifty years later, chancing upon some relics of that blazing Summer, he recalls that visit to Brandham Hall. And he tells the story of all that happened there -- a tale so engrossing, so dramatic, and withal so tender and so moving that you will turn each page with eagerness to read the next. And Mr. Hartley writes so beautifully that even if he did not have a first-rate story to tell, reading him would be an uncommonly rewarding and pleasurable experience."

  • "An invitation to a friend's house changes an adolescent boy's life. Discovering an old diary, Leo, now in his sixties, is drawn back to the hot summer of 1900 and his visit to Brandham Hall. The past comes to life as Leo recalls the events and devastating outcome that destroyed his beliefs and future hopes. The first annotated edition of L.P. Hartley's great classic, the present text generally follows that of the first edition of 1953 and also includes a number of small but significant corrections based on the surviving holograph of The Go-Between."

  • "Door het vinden van een dagboek uit zijn jeugd beleeft een man opnieuw de tragedie die hij meemaakte toen hij als twaalfjarige jongen bij een schoolvriend in Norfolk logeerde."
  • ""Summering with a fellow schoolboy on a great English estate, Leo, the hero of L.P. Hartley's finest novel, encounters a world of unimagined luxury. But when his friend's beautiful older sister enlists him as the unwitting messenger in her illicit love affair, the aftershocks will be felt for years. The inspiration for the brilliant Joseph Losey/Harold Pinter film starring Julie Christie and Alan Bates, The Go-Between is a masterpiece - a richly layered, spellbinding story about past and present, naivete; and knowledge, and the mysteries of the human heart. This volume includes, for the first time ever in North America, Hartley's own introduction to the novel."--Book cover."
  • "A man in his sixties looks back on his boyhood for the first time in fifty years, recalling events that took place at the turn of the century. Cautiously he unearths painful memories that have been buried for years. This is the story of lost innocence, a loss so shattering and profound that it breeds a lasting mistrust of life."@en
  • "The study of a child involved in a adult tragedy which he cannot comprehend."@en
