- Résumé : "The Eternal Boy: Being the Story of the Prodigious Hickey" by Owen Johnson is a vivid portrayal of the mischievous and adventurous life of schoolboys at a boarding school. The narrative follows the escapades of Hickey, a clever and resourceful student, who becomes the ringleader of various pranks and challenges against the school's authority. The story begins with Hickey's clever manipulation of a declamation class, where he feigns embarrassment to avoid reciting a memorized piece. This sets the tone for his rebellious nature and his knack for outsmarting the faculty. Hickey's adventures continue as he orchestrates a prank on Mr. Tapping, the assistant housemaster, by locking him in his study, which leads to a humorous and chaotic night for the students. The narrative also introduces Hungry Smeed, a new student with an insatiable appetite, who becomes a legend by breaking the pancake-eating record at Conover's, a local eatery. This feat earns him fame and free pancakes for the entire school, showcasing the camaraderie and competitive spirit among the boys. The story further explores the dynamics of school life, including the formation of football teams and the rivalry between different houses. Through these episodes, Johnson captures the essence of boyhood, with its blend of innocence, mischief, and the quest for identity and recognition. The book is a celebration of youthful exuberance and the timeless spirit of adventure that defines the school experience.
