From a view to a death

Edición de la obra From a view to a death

From a View to a Death is Anthony Powell's third novel and possibly his funniest. The story is of a ruthless London artist who pursues his sexual and financial quarry in the county and near-county society of rural England. V. S. Pritchett writing in the New Statesman has called it a 'social return-match; the undesirable artist among the speechless foxhunters ... The characters are perennial in the classical English comedy of country life.' 'I find Anthony Powell as funny a writer as Evelyn Waugh and Sir Max Beerbohm' - John Betjeman. Anthony Powell is acknowledged as one of the most important novelists writing in Britain today, and his *'Music of Time'* sequence of books has been acclaimed as the finest piece of English fiction since the war.
