A Dance to the Music of Time opens just after World War I. Amid the fever of the 1920s and the first chill of the 1930s, Nick Jenkins and his friends confront sex, society, business, and art. In the second volume they move to London in a whirl of marriage and adulteries, fashions and frivolities, personal triumphs and failures. The third volume follows Nick into army life and evokes London during the blitz. In the climactic final volume, England has won the war and must now count the losses.\u003cbr\u003eFour very different young men on the threshold of manhood dominate this opening volume of A Dance to the Music of Time. The narrator, Jenkins—a budding writer—shares a room with Templer, already a passionate womanizer, and Stringham, aristocratic and reckless. Widermerpool, as hopelessly awkward as he is intensely ambitious, lurks on the periphery of their world. Amid the fever of the 1920s and the first chill of the 1930s, these four gain their initiations into sex, society, business, and art. Considered a masterpiece of modern fiction, Powell's epic creates a rich panorama of life in England between the wars.\u003cbr\u003eIncludes these novels:\u003cbr\u003eA Question of Upbringing\u003cbr\u003eA Buyer's Market\u003cbr\u003eThe Acceptance World\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67930433519690,"sku":"4106bf","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/4106bf_7cc9086a-ecf5-4ece-a290-6c22b8623343.jpg?v=1794207450","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/dance-to-the-music-of-time-winter-by-anthony-powell","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
