The narrator, Jenkins-a budding writer-shares a room with Templer, already a passionate womanizer, and Stringham, aristocratic and reckless. Widmerpool, as hopelessly awkward as he is intensely ambitious, lurks on the periphery of their world. Amid the fever of the 1920s and the first chill of the 1930s, these four gain their initiations into sex, society, business, and art. A masterpiece of modern fiction, Powell's epic creates a rich portrait of life in England between the wars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Reading Powell,\" says the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \"is like living someone else's life, inextricably entangled with your own.\" Give this first volume a try, and you'll find characters and scenes and insights that will stay with you for the rest of your life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Includes these novels: \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Question of Upbringing\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Buyer's Market\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Acceptance World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony Powell \u003c\/b\u003e(1905-2000) was one of the most critically acclaimed novelists of the twentieth century.
