At New England boys boarding school Welton Academy, tradition is celebrated and high achievement is expected. When former Welton student and new English teacher John Keating encourages students to "make their lives extraordinary" with his unorthodox teaching methods, he shakes up the stuffy preparatory school's high-pressure environment and guides his pupils on a journey of self-discovery.

Inspired by Keating, high school junior Todd Anderson and friends 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. 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?

"Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary."

Truly engrossing narration of this well known story. Well worth listening to. The characters standout and one can picture scenes from the film as the story progresses

Excellent narration

This book made me feel EVERYTHING.
So much beauty and hope, but grief and dread as well.
We all need a Mr. Keating.Although in this day and age I believe that would most likely be an inner voice.
The Narration is amazing. I have went back a couple times to title details to check whether it’s the voice of a single actor I’m hearing.

Mesmerizing

The book is read beautifully. A lovely story that captures the essence of what it feels like to be young and hopeful and full of dreams, coming against the establishment, as these young boys grow into men. You can imagine Robin Williams in paragraph reading, such a great portrayal. Despite being an older title, it has very much stood the test of time, no fussy language or discussion that feels ill-placed, just a great story told well.

Classic told beautifully

An amazing coming-of-age novel. This is a truely inspirational production, expertly narrated. I had never read the book and missed the film somehow, but in a way am delighted as I can now look both up and enjoy the brilliance all over. Cannot recommend this enough, worth ten stars.

Brilliant!
