Small 8vo. Hard Cover. From the University of Chicago Press edition: "Written from a vantage point both high and necessarily narrow, Powells early novels nevertheless deal in the universal themes that would become a substantial part of his oeuvre: pride, greed, and what makes people behave as they do. Filled with eccentric characters and piercing insights, Powells work is achingly hilarious, human, and true." We specialize in the works of and about Anthony Powell.
