a sensitive young man is used by feckless family, held by loyalty to his pupil

A pleasing story revolving around the friendship that develops between the young Morgan and his private tutor Pemberton over several years. Morgan is physically frail but otherwise an exceptional boy, and the relationship that grows between student and tutor is one of remarkable closeness, the boy adores Pemberton and in turn Pemberton is prepared to stick by his student even if it means working without wages.

Written at the end of the C19th the writing by today's standards somewhat convoluted, but that is part of the charm of this short novel. What would have made it even more enjoyable for me is to have had much more first hand dialogue between Morgan and Pemberton rather than having much of what happened related by way of narrative. ( )

The Pupil es la historia de los esfuerzos de un preceptor para ayudar a su pupilo a pesar del difícil entorno familiar.
Novela corta, de estupenda descripción de personajes, la relacion tutor alumno es entrañable. El ambiente está muy bien narrado. Merece la pena leerla. ( )
