George Harpole ist Mitte dreißig und arbeitet schon eine Weile an der St.-Nicholas-Schule, als er auf den Direktorenposten befördert wird. Für ein halbes Jahr soll er die Geschicke der Lehranstalt leiten. Bald stellt er fest: Die eigentliche Herausforderung ist das, was außerhalb des Klassenzimmers passiert. Denn dort gilt es, sich durch ein kompliziertes Beziehungsgefüge zu hangeln. Auch die Zusammenarbeit mit den Kollegen erweist sich als schwieriger als gedacht. Ganz zu schweigen vom Umgang mit den Eltern. Zum Glück gibt es auch Lichtblicke: Die hübsche Mrs. Foxberrow etwa, ihres Zeichens überzeugte Reformpädagogin. Und den ein oder anderen Schüler natürlich … ›Die Lehren des Schuldirektors George Harpole‹ ist in England ein Kultbuch. Aus Briefen, Tagebucheinträgen und Beobachtungen entsteht bei J. L. Carr ein äußerst unterhaltsamer Roman, der in Erinnerungen an die eigene Schulzeit schwelgen lässt – und zeigt, wie es ist, auf der anderen Seite zu stehen. »J. L. Carrs Romane strotzen vor britischem Humor und präsentieren ihre eigenwilligen Charaktere in einem sympathisch warmen Licht.« RAINER MORITZ, CHRISMON
