København; Los Angeles: Green Integer, 2003, First Green Integer edition, with 1st printing number line, 253pp., . "Lushington, a serious young man who believes implicitly in progress, is posted as special correspondent to an obscure Baltic state. There, in the unstable political situation, he hopes to find some newsworthy stories and to forget a failed love affair. But in the frivolous, party-going capital Lushington becomes involved with some decidedly eccentric individuals - the egregious valet, Pope, known to his army comrades as "the Duke," the ostentatious Count Bobel, who sells face cream and smells of brilliantine, and the mysterious Frau Mavrin, all of whom involve Lushington and the reader in a wry and sophisticated dialogue.". 9781892295248 ISBN 1892295245 7.20.

Con una narrativa prodigiosa, el llamado Proust inglés, pone fin a su tetralogía: ahora, más que nunca, los tiempos han cambiado. Ha llegado el invierno, y para los protagonistas de esta danza es el tiempo de la madurez. En Los libros sí amueblan una habitación, la primera de las tres novelas que componen este último y magistral volumen, Nick Jenkins ya tiene cuarenta años y ha vuelto a Oxford a escribir un libro sobre Richard Burton. Pamela Flitton, la fatal, irresistible Pam, que deja a su paso un rastro de hombres destrozados, se ha casado con el abominable Kenneth Widmerpool, que continúa en la política, pero intenta darse lustre mediante una revista literaria. Mientras, Pamela lo engaña con X. Trapnel, un novelista extravagante, talentoso y sin un chelín, que frecuenta los pubs más bohemios de Londres esgrimiendo un amenazante bastón con una calavera de marfil en el puño. En la segunda novela, Reyes temporales, Nick viaja de Londres a Venecia, a un congreso de escritores, y de vuelta a Londres. Y en Venecia se encuentra con la temible Pamela, que está acostada de espaldas contemplando una obra de Tiépolo, mientras que en la prensa sensacionalista francesa se alude a una sexual experiencia macabra que se le atribuye sin ninguna duda. En Escuchando armonías secretas, la tercera del ciclo, el brillante cierre de esta obra mítica de la literatura inglesa del siglo XX, algo ha empezado a oírse en el viento y los tiempos están cambiando. La joven Fiona llega con una caravana de hippies, liderada por el seductor e inquietante Scorpio Murtlock, a acampar a los prados de su tío. Nick no ve con buenos ojos esta ocupación, aunque las preocupaciones ecológicas de los jóvenes coinciden con las suyas. Pero a Murtlock lo que realmente le interesa son los cercanos megalitos de Devil's Fingers. Y muy pronto el lector se encontrará con una curiosa y posiblemente nefasta alianza entre Kenneth Widmerpool, convertido a la contracultura, y el oscuro, turbio Murtlock.

A la Segunda Guerra Mundial se le suman otros conflictos: los del poder y los odios personales y las historias de amor y desamor. En este tercer volumen, su autor vuelve a brillar gracias a esa sabia combinación de humor y drama. Continúa la danza de la música del tiempo y a la primavera y al verano les sucede el otoño. Si el anterior volumen se cerraba con la guerra en ciernes, las tres novelas que componen esta tercera entrega del extraordinario fresco narrativo de Anthony Powell están ambientadas entre 1940 y 1945, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pero al conflicto bélico que enmarca este volumen se suman otros conflictos, los del poder y los odios personales en el ámbito castrense y los del corazón en las varias historias de amor y desamor que se tejen y destejen entre los personajes. Jenkins es llamado a filas, se incorpora a su regimiento galés como teniente y vive buena parte de la guerra en la retaguardia, rodeado de oficiales alcohólicos e ineptos, mientras el obeso y arribista Widmerpool, que ha hecho carrera en el ejército, planea su venganza contra un coronel que le ha ofendido. Y junto a ellos aparecen Tolland, Priscilla, Pamela Fitton, Jean.Inglaterra es un hervidero de resistentes de otros países que se han refugiado allí a la espera de reconquistar el continente a los nazis. La guerra propicia amoríos y desengaños, desata enfrentamientos, provoca suicidios y causa víctimas, porque las bombas alemanas que caen sobre Londres acabarán con la vida de algunas personas a las que Jenkins aprecia. En este tercer volumen de su monumental obra, el talento de Anthony Powell vuelve a brillar en todo su esplendor, gracias a esa sabia combinación de humor y drama, densidad e ingenio, que le ha valido ser considerado por la crítica como una suerte de Proust inglés.

Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. «Primera entrega de una obra monumental, absorbente y seductora, que se adentra en un mundo lleno de caprichos, riqueza y poder. Una danza para la música del tiempo es un monumental fresco literario con más de trescientos personajes, cuya acción se desarrolla entre 1914 y 1970, y cuyo título se inspira en un célebre cuadro de Poussin. Está considerada una de las cumbres de la literatura inglesa del siglo XX y ha sido comparada por muchos críticos con En busca del tiempo perdido de Proust, a su muy british manera. Consta de doce novelas que pueden agruparse en cuatro volúmenes, cada uno de los cuales lleva como título genérico una estación. Este primer volumen corresponde a la Primavera e incluye las novelas Un problema de formación, Un mercado de compradores y El mundo de la aceptación. En ellas aparece el protagonista y narrador, Nicholas Jenkins, a principios de los años veinte, durante su último curso en una prestigiosa escuela. Y a través de su relato el lector conoce al atormentado gordo Widmerpool, objeto de burlas y que acabará triunfando en el mundo de los negocios y el poder; al aristocrático Stringham; a Templer, el emprendedor hijo de un nuevo rico, y a la caprichosa Jean, hermana de este último, de la que Jenkins se enamora. Unos personajes cuyos destinos se irán entrecruzando a lo largo de los años, en un mundo de magnates, aristócratas, políticos, militares y bohemios, que Powell retrata con una mirada que combina el humor con la melancolía, la tragedia con el amor y la sensualidad.» [Texto de contracubierta] [literatura inglesa+Una danza para la música del tiempo+novela monumental]. ** 10% REBAJAS DE INVIERNO * WINTERSALE! * excl.
