Temporary Kings is a novel by Anthony Powell, the penultimate in his twelve-volume novel, A Dance to the Music of Time. It was published in 1973 by Heinemann and remains in print as does the rest of the sequence. It takes place at a fictional 1958 symposium in Venice.

Temporary Kings has been characterized as a novel in the post-war consensus of literary compromise. It also demonstrates Powell's evocation of art at all levels, most notably an (imaginary) Venetian ceiling painting by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

Temporary Kings received the W. H. Smith Prize in 1974.

It is dedicated to Roland Gant, Powell's editor, who Powell called "one in a million."

Great Sweater
Color: Black, Size: 3X-Large
My son wore this to an event he got so many compliments on it. The quality of the fabric and the design makes it look so much more expensive.

Nice long sleeved polo
It looks great , nice color, warm but not too warm. It fits well, soft, washes well, and so far hasn’t come apart in wash. And it has long sleeves. I liked it so much I bought in more than one color. Nice selection of colors so I can wear one every day of the week.
