Stated "First Published 1960" on the copyright page. Hardcover. Red cloth binding with spine lettered in gilt in black title block. With dust jacket. Not price clipped. Priced 16s NET. 229 pp. 13 x 19,5 x 2,75 cm. 306 gr. Wrapper design by Broom Lynne. Part five of 'A dance to the music of time', a twelve-novel cycle. Powell’s monumental series, inspired by Poussin’s painting of the same name. The story is an often comic examination of movements and manners, power and passivity in English political, cultural and military life in the mid 20th century. "The words 'twelve-novel cycle' don’t exactly inspire readerly zeal in most people, but once you catch the rhythm of Powell’s dodecahedral masterpiece it’s hard to put it down. Beginning in the 1920's, A Dance to the Music of Time follows the lives of a group of English friends and acquaintances as they make their various ways through life: meeting and parting, succeeding and failing, loving and hating, living and dying. There is ample room for both comedy and tragedy in this capacious, large-hearted work, but Powell’s real triumph is the way he catches the rhythm of fate itself, the way it brings people together, only to spin them apart, then reunite them later as near-strangers, transformed in unexpected ways by the intervening years." (Time 100). Set before WWII in London, Jenkins, the narrator, is now married and coping with a cross of "the smart set" and some wonderful bohemians. This is an outstanding copy of the 5th volume in the 'The Music of Time' Series, one of 12,500 issued. The book has a firm binding with no hinge weakness and there is no leaning or rolling to spine. Lovely clean copy internally. Page edges tanned, else fine and bright, no inscriptions, corners sharp. The dustjacket is well protected in a removable cover sleeve. Bookseller's sticker inside back board. Very good+/Very good+. Booknumber: 13445 |
