The Class

by Erich Segal

From world-renowned author Erich Segal comes a powerful and moving saga of five extraordinary members of the Harvard class of 1958 and the women with whom their lives are intertwined. Their explosive story begins in a time of innocence and spans a turbulent quarter century, culminating in their dramatic twenty-five reunion at which they confront their classmates--and the balance sheet of  their own lives. Always at the center; amid the  passion, laughter, and glory, stands Harvard--the symbol of who they are and who they will be. They were a generation who made the rules--then broke them--whose glittering successes, heartfelt tragedies, and unbridled ambitions would stun the world.

Reviews

[Isabel Paiva · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reli agora. Gostei muito. O livro acompanha a vida de 5 personagens principais que fizeram parte da classe ‘58 de Harvard. Estão envolvidos em acontecimentos históricos do período que decorre entre a graduação e a reunião dos 25 anos, um assistente do Kissinger, outro participando na libertação dos reféns israelitas. O quinto personagem é apenas conhecido através das páginas do seu diário. Contrariamente aos restantes, tem uma vida “normal”, sem fama ou sucesso, mas é a meu ver o personagem mais simpático, aquele que gostaríamos de ter como amigo . Bem, o Jason também (o heroi israelita).
