Resumen |
The novel tells the story of a much-beloved schoolteacher, Mr. Chipping, and his forty-three-year-long tenure at Brookfield Grammar School, a fictional second-rate British boys' public boarding school located in the hypothetical village of Brookfield, situated in the Fenlands. Mr. Chipping is an orthodox personality. He conquers his inability to connect with his students, as well as his initial shyness, when he marries Katherine, a young woman whom he meets on holiday and who quickly picks up on calling him by his nickname "Chips". |
