He received a first-class education, going to study at The Markham School in Arnold, New Hampshire in 1907, then traveling with a private tutor on a six-month tour of France, England, Italy, Greece, and the Middle East to study the masters of classic art, architecture, and literature.In 1923 he attended Harvard University. Following his graduation in 1926 he traveled to Spain to study art and architecture. In 1927 Powell left Spain to spend several years moving about the world, traveling to exotic locations such as the Orient, Africa, and the Middle East studying the arts and "humanity in all its dogged diversity."By the late summer of 1928, he had completed a draft of his first novel. Considered one of the Lost Generation writers, Powell's first novel was published in 1930. Titled "The Yearning" it was followed by the antiwar story, "One Hill Farther", which brought him considerable recognition. His 1931 novel about life in New York City, titled "The Village", was a commercial success and introduced the trademark literary style that made Powell famous to the world, making him a recognizable public figure.Powell has written three novels since 1932. The collection of short stories "Up and Down" in 1932, "Haunted Safari" in 1933, and the lengthy novel "The Supermen" in 1935. Powell is well-known for consorting with and dabbling with the arts and entertainment industries. Powell has been linked to several relationships with young Hollywood film stars, including Carole Lombard and Maureen O'Sullivan. Powell's own appearances in movies has been limited mostly to some serial Westerns of little note, and starring in the critically panned but well-received "The Savage" with Maureen O'Sullivan in 1931 prior to the recasting of Olympic medal winner Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan.APPEARANCEDescribed in Time magazine as "One of the most eligible bachelors in America," Powell has all the slick, winning good looks of a movie star and "one of the most brilliant literary minds of his generation." Chester, or "Teddy" to his closest friends, stands tall at over six feet, and keeps his wavy dark hair neatly slicked back to frame sparkling dark eyes. Even film star Clark Gable has been noted as reporting, "I'm glad Chester isn't any better at my job, or else I'd be stuck trying to do his." Dressed in a dapper suit or in rugged safari wear, Chester Powell manages to always look poised and ready for a picture. As Powell fan Greta Garbo has said, "Oh, what a beautiful man."</blockquote>
