It is one of the most extraordinary and enduring political novels from  the 1930s and further confirmed Warner's status as a major writer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Professor of  Classics is appointed Chancellor of his (unnamed) country, under threat  from both the government of a neighbouring country and its own fascist  party. The Professor is a staunch believer in the liberal values his own  country espouses but considers himself 'above politics', in contrast  with his son, a revolutionary. The Professor's conviction that he must  not enter into the political arena means that he finds himself unable to  defend his liberal beliefs, even as he and his country are thrown into  chaos. The consequences are violent and shocking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168946110704,"sku":"9780571321193","price":16.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571321193_p0.jpg?v=1763718186","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571321193","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
