Omschrijving

NOW IN ITS 75TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR

‘He is, as Proust was before him, the great chronicler of his culture in his time.’ Guardian

‘One of the great novel-sequences in English Literature.’ William Boyd

‘Wonderfully observed ... true, funny, stylistically dazzling.’ The Times

‘A Dance to the Music of Time’ is universally acknowledged as one of the great works of English literature. Now in its 75th anniversary year, this first volume is ready to delight and entrance a new generation of readers.

In this first volume, Nick Jenkins, freshly introduced to the ebbs and flows of life at boarding school in the 1920s, spends his time in the company of his new friends: Peter Templer, Charles Stringham, and Kenneth Widmerpool.

Though their days are filled with visits from relatives and boyish pranks, usually at the expense of their housemaster, Le Bas, a disastrous trip in Templer’s car threatens their friendship. As the school year comes to a close, the young men are faced with the prospect of adulthood and, with it, finding their place in the world.
