NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Snake And Sword: A Novel This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

Autorenporträt
Percival Christopher Wren (1875-1941) was a notable English author, whose literary career flourished in the early twentieth century, distinguished by his adventure novels set in exotic locations. Wren achieved considerable fame with his work 'Beau Geste' (1924), which drew on his experiences in the French Foreign Legion. His vivid storytelling and ability to evoke foreign landscapes garnered him a dedicated readership. One such work, 'Snake and Sword' (1914), exemplifies his fascination with tales of honor, bravery, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. Wren's narratives often comprise complex characters driven by a sense of duty and entangled in challenging moral dilemmas, often under the duress of colonial backdrops or the brutal deserts that he knew firsthand. Despite the commercial success of his books during his lifetime, Wren's literary fame has somewhat waned over time. Nonetheless, his contributions to the adventure genre continue to be appreciated by aficionados of classic English literature, and his books remain an emblem of the genre's golden age. His works reflect the imperialistic zeitgeist of his era but also showcase a keen interest in the human condition, which transcends the historical context of his writing.
