Description

'He is, as Proust was before him, the great literary chronicler of his culture in his time.' GUARDIAN'A Dance to the Music of Time' is universally acknowledged as one of the great works of English literature.

Reissued now in this definitive edition, it stands ready to delight and entrance a new generation of readers. In the eleventh volume in the series, Nick Jenkins, persuaded by his old friend Mark Members, attends a literary conference in Venice.

Meanwhile, old school pal Widmerpool continues to climb the ranks, this time as a Life Peer.

But his position in power is under threat when he becomes the subject of whispered accusations of espionage, and wife Pamela, former lover of the dead writer X.

Trapnel, also finds herself the centre of attention, as the mystery around the writer continues to draw ghoulish interest from readers and academics alike.

Even in Venice, surrounded by the beautiful vistas of the city, Nick cannot escape his friends’ turbulent lives.
