The Four Feathers

When Harry Feversham resigns his army commission on the eve of a dangerous campaign in the Sudan, his three closest friends and his fiancée each send him a white feather—the symbol of cowardice. Stung by the accusation, Harry disappears, presumed a coward. But he has not fled. Instead, he embarks on a secret journey to the Sudan, disguised as a mute native, determined to redeem himself by saving the lives of those who condemned him. Sweeping from the ballrooms of Victorian England to the scorching deserts of North Africa, The Four Feathers is a powerful story of honor, sacrifice, and the quiet courage of a man who risks everything to prove his worth. This faithful modern retelling preserves the spirit and suspense of Mason’s classic tale while making it accessible for today’s readers. Part of Timeless Classics.
