English Abstract
The current study examines the multiplicity of themes in The Masters and Corridors of Power written by the British novelist C.P.Snow.
Although there are many themes under the lines of the two novels, the study concentrates on three themes exclusively because they illustrate Snow's ideas in his Rede lecture.
The study also explains how Snow criticizes the modern world through his handling of the themes of power, science and morality.
In addition to these themes, the study traces the controversy between Snow and other critics especially F.R.Levis concerning the role of scientists and science in the modern world.
The study shows where the power is located in any society and how it is used by the men of high position for their own purposes.
It also shows why the scientists are better than the scholars in humanities according to Snow's point of view.
Moreover, the study reveals the image of morality and lack morality of the scientists and those who aren't scientists that Snow has drawn in his two novels.
The setting of The Masters is Cambridge university while Corridors of Power is set in the British parliament and their main characters are university professors.
The general impression one gets out of these two novels is that they represent a genuine picture of the British academy and society in the years following the Second World War.
