| Description: |
Written in 1954, this controversial story cracked down on the public school system and dramatized student violence as no other novel of its time. It also spawned the classic 1955 film that introduced the world to Sidney Poitier and rock-and-roll music. Now reissued for its 50th anniversary. |
| Synopsis: |
This "nightmarish but authentic" ("Time") portrait of a high school English teacher and the defiant, uncontrollable students in his charge rings with ferocious urgency and harrowing realism. A timeless rendering of youth culture set against the backdrop of 1950s New York City, "The Blackboard Jungle" speaks powerfully to the alarming epidemic of violence and security issues in today's schools. |
