Book excerpt: This premium quality large print edition contains the complete and unabridged original classic version of The Four Feathers, printed on heavy, bright white paper in a large 7.44"x9.69" format, with page headers, a fully laminated full-color cover featuring an original design, and a detailed author biography discussing the life and work of A.E.W. Mason. A.E.W. Mason was already a successful novelist when he wrote The Four Feathers in 1902. The book is the best known of the approximately thirty novels of his long career. The Four Feathers is a tale of cowardice, courage, heroism, duty, and redemption set against the backdrop of the British military operations in the Egyptian Sudan in the 1880's. An instant success, the tale is still widely known today, and has been adapted for films and reprinted numerous times. Rather than be separated from his fiancee when his regiment deploys to the Sudan, Harry Feversham resigns his commission. But when his fiancee joins his former comrades in labeling him a coward by presenting him with symbolic feathers, Harry sets out to prove his courage and redeem his good name by committing acts of bravery and returning the feathers to those who presented them. Unlike the film versions, the novel is driven more by the rich depth and diversity of the characters than by action and is an outstanding exposition of the concepts of duty, courage and character that permeated Victorian England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Four Feathers by A. E. W. Mason English officer and gentleman Harry Feversham has wealth, social position, a beautiful fiancée, Ethne Eustace, and a brotherly bond with three close friends. But he also harbors a dark secret. Though he is expected to continue his family's proud tradition of military service, he cannot forget the shameful stories he heard as a child: tales of men who shirked their duty and disgraced themselves in battle. Fearing he too will flee from combat, Harry resigns his commission when his regiment is ordered to the war-torn Sudan. Following this decision, he receives a white feather-symbolizing cowardice-from each of his friends, and a fourth from Ethne. To redeem himself in their eyes, and his own, he embarks on an epic quest, traveling alone to Africa disguised as an Arab. As Harry endures desert heat, raging enemies, and the hellish prison known as the House of Stone, his heroic exploits become the stuff of legend. Originally published in 1902, The Four Feathers, A. E. W. Mason's best-known novel of adventure and romance, explores a plethora of complex moral issues within a framework of exotic intrigue and breakneck action. What is courage? What is cowardice?
