"Fathers of Men" by E. W. Hornung is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a public school and revolves around the experiences of two new boys, Jan Rutter and Carpenter, as they navigate the complexities of school life. The narrative primarily explores themes of identity, social dynamics, and the transition from boyhood to maturity as both characters face their prejudices and expectations within the educational environment. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the school setting through the perspective of Robert Heriot, a housemaster who takes a particular interest in the new boys. Jan Rutter, the more reserved and brooding of the two newcomers, enters the school with a troubled past marked by loss and uncertainty. In contrast, Carpenter exudes enthusiasm yet feels the pangs of inadequacy in the new environment. As the story unfolds, hints of the boys' complex backgrounds and struggles are revealed, such as Jan's roots in a stable environment and the challenges he faces in adapting to the school culture. The opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of their characters as influences of their past collide with their new lives in the public school setting.
