Binding tight, pages clean. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landmark work of twentieth-century British fiction, The Conscience of the Rich is the fifth installment in C. P. Snow's celebrated eleven-volume sequence Strangers and Brothers, chronicling the inner life of Charles March, a brilliant young man born into one of London's most prominent Anglo-Jewish families. The novel traces Charles's agonizing rebellion against the weight of dynastic expectation as he abandons a promising legal career to pursue medicine, forcing a painful reckoning between personal freedom and familial duty. Snow renders the March family's world with precise, unsentimental authority, illustrating how wealth and privilege can become a gilded cage, and how the conscience of an individual is shaped — and sometimes crushed — by the demands of class and tradition. The narrative builds to a quietly devastating climax involving political scandal, loyalty, and betrayal, revealing that the most consequential battles are often fought not in public arenas but within the walls of a family home. Written in Snow's characteristically measured and psychologically astute prose, the novel stands as a penetrating study of moral responsibility, identity, and the cost of integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792207982811,"sku":"2026200004646-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7b0f7bbc-809e-45a7-bcaa-61615dccff32.png?v=1779273515","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004646-secondhand-the-conscience-of-the-rich","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
