4 Series

C.P. Snow (1905-1980) was an English novelist and physicist, notable for his series "Strangers and Brothers," which took over 30 years to complete. He served in various roles within the British Civil Service and government. In 1957, Queen Elizabeth II granted him the title of Baron Snow, making him a life peer.

In C.P. Snow's standalone novel, "The Search," a childhood fascination with the night sky, sparked by a telescope, evolves into a lifelong dedication to science. The narrator pursues his studies at King's College, London, and later becomes a fellow at Cambridge. Amidst his academic career, he navigates multiple love affairs while seeking both professional success and personal fulfillment. Ultimately, finding contentment in love leads him to abandon his passion for research.
