Young Törless found the frustrations of growing up something he could explain to neither his doting parents nor the stuffy members of the school staff. That old devil sex was getting troublesome, too, and a visit to a local prostitute only added to his confused ideas. When a couple of sadistic pals decide to make a butt of an effeminate fellow student, Törless is both disgusted and attracted. Up in a dark attic, the victim is systematically beaten to a physical and emotional pulp...

"Do as I did," Ursula's mother advises, "just close your eyes and think of England!" After Ursula has taken her last toss ("She fell at Bombay in the Viceroy's Cup, when the hurdle...
...migraine symptoms-he can even make his fingernails turn blue-in order to stay home from school. Soon he is able to forge signatures with the technical virtuosity of a three-time loser. He steals, too, but theft is an esthetic experience to him. And when it comes to sex (as it does soon, with the housemaid), he does not mind admitting that "my gifts for the pleasures of love bordered on the miraculous...
