John Keating, teacher of English Literature, gets a new job at a renowned New England university. With his unconventional and unorthodox teaching methods, he inspires his students to dream, to find their own voice and to find out what they really want to do with their lives, instead of just conforming to the various expectations of their parents, etc. This does not always meet the approval of Keating´s colleagues nor of the boys´ parents. Following Keating´s example, the boys found the "Dead Poets Society" which will change their lives. Keating makes a deep impact on some of his students´ lives, but then an unforeseeable tragedy occurs...
A great story full of inspiration and "humanity"- just as brilliant as the movie!! Highly recommendable!!
