A novelization of the hit movie starring Robin Williams as Professor Keating, an inspiring, uplifting teacher who changes his students' lives.




Todd Anderson and his friends at Welton Academy can hardly believe how different life is since their new English professor, the flamboyant John Keating, has challenged them to "make your lives extraordinary! Inspired by Keating, the boys resurrect the Dead Poets Society--a secret club where, free from the constraints and expectations of school and parents, they let their passions run wild. As Keating turns the boys on to the great words of Byron, Shelley, and Keats, they discover not only the beauty of language, but the importance of making each moment count.


But the Dead Poets pledges soon realize that their newfound freedom can have tragic consequences. Can the club and the individuality it inspires survive the pressure from authorities determined to destroy their dreams?

    One reads poetry because he is a member of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion! Medicine, law, banking—these are necessary to sustain life. But poetry, romance, love, beauty? These are what we stay alive for!

    “If you’re sure about something,” he said as they slowly returned to their seats, “force yourself to think about it another way, even if you know it’s wrong or silly. When you read, don’t consider only what the author thinks, but take time to consider what you think. “You must strive to find your own voice, boys, and the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all.

I love this movie so much but the book wasn’t as good. Since it was written after the movie, it follows the exact storyline exactly. It is still a great book and the quality was awesome. It is a small sized book that is easy to travel with and store. The font is easy to read and it is a great quality book. It can be read in one day if one wants to.

Amazingly the book and the movie are identical. Robin Williams will always be remembered for this character who was also so very troubled.

Some novelizations add a bit to the story from the film; It has been some time since I last saw the film, but I feel like this book adds very little extra story.

El libro llegó bien. Aunque el producto decía que era de bolsillo, pensé que sería un poco más grande. La historia es increíble y el inglés que maneja es muy sencillo de comprender.

Todo el mundo conoce la película , pero tener la oportunidad de leer la novela en su idioma original es otra cosa, el intimismo y profundad de la lectura es incomparable. además el estilo narrativo del autor es pausado y transmite las vivencias de forma tan bonita que parece que estuvieras allí.
