Synopsis
A Separate Peace is John Knowles' first published novel, released in 1959. The bildungsroman is Knowles' most widely-known work. The title is derived from a quotation in Hemingway's novel, A Farewell to Arms, in which Lt. Henry states, "I had made a separate peace," with his adversaries in World War I. The title also appears in the preface to Chapter VI of Hemingway's In Our Time, in which Nick Adams states: "Senta. You and me we've made a separate peace."
