Description
The Masters is a gripping novel by C. P. Snow, winner of the 1954 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction. Set in a Cambridge college, the story follows the contest for the Mastership as the old Master slowly dies of cancer, his colleagues and peers jostle for power. Two candidates emerge: Paul Jago, a warm and sympathetic man, and Crawford, a shrewd and reliable individual. As the debate unfolds, politics and egos cloud the decision, and the College is torn in two. This thought-provoking tale depicts power in a confined setting with clarity and humanity, offering a meticulous study of the public issues and private problems of post-war Britain.
