Summary "Robin Linnet" by E. F. Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the backdrop of Cambridge University, the story explores the vibrant and often chaotic life of its youthful characters as they navigate friendship, academia, and their budding identities. The narrative primarily follows the intense friendship between two students, Damon and Pythias, who engage in lively discussions, pranks, and musings about life, love, and their future. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to Damon and Pythias, affectionately nicknamed Day and Pie, as they share a room filled with books and philosophical debates. Amidst their playful banter and humorous escapades, they delve into their studies of Socrates, reflecting both on the weight of impending maturity and the carefree nature of youth. Their dynamic is marked by a sense of camaraderie, as they engage in fights with friends, sip whisky, and contemplate their futures while dealing with the societal expectations placed upon them. This initial chapter sets the tone for a narrative rich with wit and youthful exuberance, capturing the essence of student life in early 20th century England.
