This book was released on 1972 with total page 1096 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. P. Snow’s Strangers and Brothers is a roman fleuve comprising eleven novels and covering a period of more than fifty years. The entire sequence is narrated by Lewis Eliot, an intelligent, sensitive, and decent man whose life progresses against the backdrop of some of the critical events of twentieth century history. The sequence is divided into novels of “direct experience” and “observed experience.” Although Lewis Eliot is present in the novels of “observed experience,” his personal life is given a secondary role, as he concentrates on several figures who have played crucial roles in his life. Snow carefully establishes his narrator’s emotional makeup in Time of Hope (which, though Snow’s third book in the series, precedes George Passant and The Light and the Dark in the narrative chronology). Set primarily in an unnamed provincial town in the Midlands of England, the novel depicts Lewis’ early years, characterized by a sense of insecurity stemming from the Eliot family’s genteel poverty following the bankruptcy of his father during World War I. -- From https://www.enotes.com/topics/strangers-brothers (Feb. 25, 2019).

Book excerpt: An emotional gulf forms between a young Jewish barrister and his father in a “wise, beautifully controlled and deeply moving novel” set in prewar England (The New York Times Book Review). The scion of a wealthy Anglo-Jewish family, Charles March, is expected to fulfill the ambitions his father has for him. The young man, a friend of Lewis Eliot, shows great promise as a barrister. But an abrupt career change—and marriage to a woman deemed both unworthy and untrustworthy—drives a wedge between father and son, ultimately putting the family’s good name at risk. “Snow is rare among contemporary novelists in the quiet conviction with which he expresses love between brother and sister, son and father, husband and wife.” —The New York Times Book Review “Leisurely, intelligent and incisive.” —Kirkus Reviews “Together, the [Strangers and Brothers] sequence presents a vivid portrait of British academic, political and public life.” —Jeffrey Archer, The Guardian

Book excerpt: A young man resolves to rise above his humble beginnings in the series praised as a “masterwork . . . a panorama of middle and upper-middle class English society” (The New York Times). Nine-year-old Lewis Eliot learns that his father is bankrupt in the summer of 1914. This family crisis—and the tragedy that follows—shape his future, but with fierce willpower, he diligently studies and eventually finds a promising law career in London. However, that very determination to succeed against difficult odds may prove Eliot’s undoing as he courts and marries a troubled, wealthy woman, raising questions of social class, marriage, and the nature of ambition. “Snow depicted a milieu of which he was an intimate and exhilarating part. [The Strangers and Brothers novels are] precisely, often poetically written books . . . strong on plot and narrative and nuances of power politics.” —The New York Times “A sensitive evocation of the early background of Lewis Eliot, Snow’s narrator, and with the first stages of the career that is to take him through so many different layers of English society. . . . [The novel] gives a remarkable impression of the world of the law.” —Commentary

Book excerpt: A wise, moving novel about a mentor and his protégé: “The central character . . . is immensely appealing . . . a peculiarly haunting and sympathetic figure.” —The New York Times In late 1920s England, Lewis Eliot is building a career in law and has found a mentor in George Passant. The quirky small-town solicitor’s clerk has much wisdom to share from his years of experience—during which he has also managed to hold on to his idealism. Eliot is just one of the many young devotees drawn to Passant, hoping for guidance from the man who’s always ready to extend a loan or a listening ear. However, the young men will have to learn to fly on their own—and come to Passant’s aid themselves—in this absorbing novel by “an extremely shrewd observer of men and society” (Commentary). “An enlightened discussion of questions of conscience and conduct and commitment. . . . Filled with the concerns which are so fundamentally and essentially a part of this writer’s work and have attracted a firm following.” —Kirkus Reviews Originally published under the title Strangers and Brothers
