Books Do Furnish a Room

Meer over het boek

Book 10 in A Dance to the Music of Time begins: "Returning to the University at forty, one immediately recaptured all the crushing melancholy of the undergraduate condition." Anthony Powell's brilliant 12-novel sequence, which chronicles the lives of over three hundred characters, is a unique evocation of life in twentieth-century England. The novels follow Nicholas Jenkins, Kenneth Widmerpool and others, as they negotiate the intellectual, cultural and social hurdles that stand between them and the “Acceptance World.”
