Brideshead Revisited: The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder
ISBN: 9780316216449 / Angielski / Inna / 2012 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)

At once romantic, sensuous, comic, and somber, "Brideshead Revisited" transcends Waugh's early satiric explorations...

Sword of Honor
ISBN: 9780316216692 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 764 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This trilogy spanning World War II, based in part on Evelyn Waugh's own experiences as an army officer, is the author's surpassing achievement as a novelist. Its central character is Guy Crouchback, head of an ancient but decayed Catholic family, who at first discovers new purpose in the challenge to defend Christian values against Nazi barbarism, but then gradually finds the complexities and cruelties of war overwhelming. Though often somber, Sword of Honor is also a brilliant comedy, peopled by the fantastic figures so familiar from Waugh's early satires. The deepest pleasures these...

Evelyn Waugh's short fiction reveals in miniaturized perfection the elements that made him the greatest satirist of the twentieth century. The stories collected here range from delightfully barbed portraits of the British upper classes to an alternative ending to Waugh's novel "A Handful of Dust;" from a "missing chapter" in the life of Charles Ryder, the nostalgic hero of "Brideshead Revisited, "to a plot-packed morality tale that Waugh composed at a very tender age; from an epistolary lark in the voice of "a young lady of leisure" to a darkly comic tale of scandal in a remote (and...

After seven years of marriage, the beautiful Lady Brenda Last has grown bored with life at Hetton Abbey, the Gothic mansion that is the pride and joy of her husband, Tony. She drifts into an affair with the shallow socialite John Beaver and forsakes Tony for the Belgravia set.
