Publisher's Synopsis
With power and emotion, Edward Schwartz gives the readers in The White Cliff the impassioned story of a broken friendship of two men--a writer, Martin Bell, and a scientist, Harold Flint.
They are both trapped by their own contradictions: ambition and fear, desire and obligation, self-confirmation and responsibility.
Woven in a tapestry of inner voices of his heroes, Schwartz takes us from a movie-studio to a scientific laboratory; from a hospital's OR to the International symposium; from the church to the KGB office in Russia.
Among personages, whose lives are being entwined into fates of two main protagonists, there are the following:
All these personages, and many others, create a colorful pattern in the kaleidoscope of human life, where and the world of science, and the world of literature are only two colorful stones among myriads others.
