Tanec na konci času Séria
Tento rozsiahly epický román sleduje životy a osudy britskej smotánky od konca prvej svetovej vojny až do šesťdesiatych rokov. Rozprávané s typickým britským humorom a decentným nadhľadom, odhaľuje zložité spoločenské vzťahy, osobné vzostupy a pády i búrlivé historické udalosti. Dielo je majstrovskou štúdiou anglickej spoločnosti, jej premeny a pominuteľnosti ľudských osudov, maľované na pozadí dramatického 20. storočia. Je to fascinujúci pohľad na generáciu, ktorá formovala modernú Britániu.
