He immediately receives four white feathers-symbols of cowardice-one each from his three best friends and his fiancée. To disprove this grave dishonor, Harry dons an Arabian disguise and leaves for the Sudan, where he anonymously comes to the aid of his three friends, saving each of their lives. Having proved his bravery, Harry returns to England, hoping to regain the love and respect of his fiancée. This suspenseful tale movingly depicts a distinctive code of honor that was deeply valued and strongly promoted by the British during the height of their imperial power. 1576855 1902 The Four Feathers (Penguin Classics) total:184|5:44|4:71|3:48|2:18|1:3| 184 687 312 35 3 0 false false Tue May 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 07:43:29 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 07:45:44 -0700 2009

The story was great. None of the movies ever have it right--they always make friends and villians of the wrong people.
