Author:Anthony Powell
_________________________
Collects the first three volumes of Anthony Powell's remarkable DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF TIME sequence: A QUESTION OF UPBRINGING; A BUYER'S MARKET; THE ACCEPTANCE WORLD
Anthony Powell's brilliant twelve-novel sequence chronicles the lives of over three hundred characters, and is a unique evocation of life in twentieth-century England. It is unrivalled for its scope, its humour and the enormous pleasure it has given to generations.
These first three novels in the sequence follow Nicholas Jenkins, Kenneth Widmerpool and others, as they negotiate the intellectual, cultural and social hurdles which stand between them and the 'Acceptance World'.
I think it is now becoming clear that Dance to the Music of Time is going to become the greatest modern novel since Ulysses
—— Clive JamesOne of English fiction's few twentieth-century masterpieces
—— John Lanchester , London Review of BooksI would rather read Mr Powell than any English novelist now writing
—— Kingsley AmisQuite unlike anything else being published ... One of the most unique voices in the field ... His imagery is breathtaking
—— Science Fiction Chronicle(Ligotti uses) restrained, lyrical prose and subtly disturbing images that Poe himself might well have admired
—— USA TodayOrwell saw … that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power
—— Adam Gopnik , New Yorker[Orwell fought] the evils of the world and the weakness of his body to the day of his death, always striving, striving to tell the truth about what he saw and what he felt
—— Nicholas Walter , Anarchy: A Journal of Anarchist Ideas
