Mentors

Charles Percy Snow is a famous English writer, physicist, chemist and statesman. The author dedicated the novel "The Mentors" to his friend, mathematician G. G. Hardy. This is a story about tradition and progress, about the struggle of the past and the present. The events in the book take place in 1937 in a fictional college, but in a real place, they tell about the elections of the director of this educational institution, since the current head is very ill and dying. The struggle for the position begins between two completely different people - the pragmatic scientist Crawford and the humanitarian Paul Jago.

The novel has been staged many times in the UK, and was the basis for television and radio series.
