The life of Lewis Eliot - documented across eleven novels with C. P. Snow's distinctive blend of precision and compassion - begins in Time of Hope. The novel opens in the summer of 1914 when nine-year-old Lewis hears the news of his father's bankruptcy, and closes in 1933, when, although hindered in his promising career as a lawyer by the neuroses of his wife, he realises that he cannot bear to leave her. In the course of this ambitious but ultimately unremarkable man's early life rage the great questions of the age - questions of class, of gender, of ideology and of war - asked and answered with wisdom and tolerance. 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.

I have been thinking for a while how to describe this book and the series, which are the most erudite and creative set of novels i have ever read. the bottom line is, if you were to pick out, say, ten moments in your life and then realistically assess what was important to you, where you were, where you were going, and what you thought of yourself and others, including your (probably)one meaningful friend, your wife, your other acquaintances, and your i nterests and pleasures, your current level of sopghistication, and you were one of those few who had a life of accomplishments worth describing in book form, this is what you would would end up with. The stories are fascinating, and often based on ancient or modern fact or fiction. Again, each novel, beginning with this one, reflects the level of erudition and sophistication of the protagonist, so there is a definite progression of sophistication and insight, evidenced in the writing style, so that if you compare Time of Hope to say, Corridors of Power, you can, in the very writing style, see an obvious evolution of character in the protagonist. The first incident described in Time and Hope, amazingly enough, becomes a motif, and in fact may not even have been what it appears to be. All in all, an incredible beginning to an incredible series.
