Strangers and Brothers
1940ref. B618London: Faber and Faber Ltd 1940. First. Hardcover. Good . Strangers and Brothers is the first novel in Snow's 11 novel series Strangers and Brothers but the second book according to the series narrative chronology. It was later published in the US under the title George Passant after the entire series took the title of the first volume. In the book George Passant is a solicitor in a small English town whose idealism and eccentricity lead him to accumulate a group of young followers in a mentor-like capacity. Narrated by Lewis Eliot the novel has the more general background of Eliot's rising career and the changes in English society through the 20th century. This copy is good in light blue green cloth with red titles on the spine. The covers show moderate edge wear and sunning primarily at the spine and edges. The corners are slightly bumped. The binding is quite sound although the front free blank endpaper has been cut out perhaps to remove a previous owner's name. There is a light ink name of a previous owner from Cambridge on the front pastedown and a scrawled blue pencil B on the half title page. No other marks or damage. The book is rather uncommon in this its true first edition published by Faber not to be confused with a later reissued first when Snow changed his publisher to Macmillan. .
