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.
