Book excerpt: "The lead novel in Raven's ''Alms for Oblivion'' sequence (there are ten in all), this very English tale is set in 1945 and perpetuates the image of the public school as a haven for upper-class snobbery and other more earthly vices. Intelligent and popular, Fielding Gray likes to play the role of romantic pagan, in many respects a charming persona, but one which inevitably leads to conflict with the forces of convention. His rather careless seduction of another student sets off a chain of events with tragic consequences that alter the course of his life. The tale is not offered, however, as a defense of conventional morality. Indeed, many of its representatives are less than appealing, eager to use the tragedy for their own ends. Urbane and exhibiting an occasional flash of wit reminiscent of Waugh, it is a work that should appeal to most Anglophiles."--fantasticfiction.com.

Book excerpt: Mit der ersten deutschen Übersetzung der Romanreihe "Almosen fürs Vergessen" kann Simon Raven nun endlich auch hierzulande entdeckt werden. Mal mehr, mal weniger locker mit dem Lebensweg des englischen Berufssoldaten und Schriftstellers Fielding Gray verbunden, der nach einem Indienaufenthalt auch auf Zypern und in Deutschland stationiert ist, umspannen die zehn jeweils eigenständig lesbaren Roma- ne erzählerisch die Jahre 1945 bis 1973. Sie sind miteinander verwoben durch die Mitglieder einer Gruppe privilegierter Internatsschüler, die sich im ersten Band "Fielding Gray" eben anschicken, in verschiedene politische, publizistische, wirtschaftliche und militärische Schaltstellen des britischen Gesellschaftslebens aufzurücken. Berührend, unerschrocken und höchst unterhaltsam erzählt Simon Raven davon, wie "menschliches Bemühen und Wohlwollen beständig dem heimtückischen Wirken von Zeit, Zufall und der übrigen Menschheit ausgesetzt sind". Ein elitäres Bildungssystem, der Zusammenbruch des Britischen Reiches, Suezkrise und Kalter Krieg, Atomwaffenentwicklung und Studentenrevolte bilden den Hintergrund, vor dem die moralische Hybris und die menschlichen Schwächen der britischen Oberschicht und der zunehmend auch tonangebenden "Upper Middle Class" ins Visier genommen werden. Fielding Gray ist der strahlende Star der Schule. Brillant in Latein und Griechisch, glänzt er auch beim Cricket und vermag es, alle mit seiner Attraktivität, seiner Eloquenz und einem charmanten Hang zum Draufgängertum für sich einzunehmen. Kurz bevor er 1945 sein letztes Schuljahr antritt, verliebt er sich in den zurückhaltenden blonden Christopher, an dem ihn vor allem dessen Unschuld fasziniert. Obwohl sein bester Freund vor einem möglichen Skandal warnt und ihn ein Konkurrent um die Position des Schulkapitäns offensichtlich genau im Blick behält, bahnt sich eine Tragödie an — und auch außerhalb der Schule gerät Fielding Grays verheißungsvolle Zukunft ins Wanken. — "Fielding Gray" ist ein berührender Roman über Freundschaft und enttäuschte Erwartungen, Begehrlichkeit und schicksalhaftes Scheitern, manipulative Machenschaften und Schuld.
