In the years of economic depression between the wars, George – an idealistic radical bursting with notions of creating the world anew – gathers about him a group of young people who, restive and ambitious, trust him to emancipate them from the constraints of their provincial lives. But when his lofty aspirations become muddied with a need for money and desire for sexual freedom, his power over the group becomes a danger to them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolitics, people and the rapidly changing social landscape of inter-war Britain are narrated with Snow’s trademark subtlety and precision in this fascinating analysis of a god with feet of clay. A meticulous study of the public issues and private problems of post-war Britain, C. P. Snow’s Strangers and Brothers sequence is a towering achievement that stands alongside Anthony Powell’s A Dance to the Music of Time as one of the great romans-fleuves of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55551891898741,"sku":"9781509864195","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781509864195.jpg?v=1751010867","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781509864195","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
