With his distinctive dark wit, Evelyn Waugh's Decline and Fall is a masterful social satire sending up the social mores of 1920s England, edited with an introduction by David Bradshaw in Penguin Modern Classics. Expelled from Oxford for indecent behaviour, Paul Pennyfeather is oddly unsurprised to find himself qualifying for the position of schoolmaster at Llanabba Castle. Hi colleagues are an assortment of misfits, including Prendy (plagued by doubts) and captain Grimes, who is always in the soup (or just plain drunk). Then Sports Day arrives, and with it the delectable Margot...

A Handful of Dust
ISBN: 9780316216265 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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.

Scoop
ISBN: 9780316216371 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Lord Copper, newspaper magnate and proprietor of the Daily Beast, has always prided himself on his intuitive flair for spotting ace reporters. That is not to say he has not made the odd blunder, however, and may in a moment of weakness make another. Acting on a dinner party tip from Mrs. Algernon Stitch, Lord Copper feels convinced that he has hit on just the chap to cover a promising war in the African Republic of Ishmaelia. So begins Scoop, Waugh's exuberant comedy of mistaken identity and brilliantly irreverent satire of the hectic pursuit of hot news.

Helena, 1 Audio-CD, 1 MP3
ISBN: 9783742428332 / CD-Audio Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Eigentlich ist Evelyn Waugh bekannt für seine bissigen Satiren auf die aristokratischen Kreise seiner Zeit. Doch das ungewöhnliche Leben der Kaiserin Helena, Mutter Konstantins des Großen, die enormen Konflikte dieser Zeit, ihre Pilgerreise nach Palästina und die politischen Intrigen des imperialistischen Roms inspirierten ihn zu einem fesselnden Geschichtsroman. Waugh war erst Maler, dann Lehrer, Reporter und Kunsttischler, bis er in der Literatur seine Berufung fand. Seinen historischen wie geistreichen Abstecher in die Frühzeit des Christentums liest Walter Hilsbecher.Lesung mit...

The Loved One
ISBN: 9780316216470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Following the death of a friend, the poet and pets' mortician Dennis Barlow finds himself entering the artificial Hollywood paradise of the Whispering Glades Memorial Park. Within its golden gates, death, American-style, is wrapped up and sold like a package holiday-and Dennis gets drawn into a bizarre love triangle with Aimee Thanatogenos, a naive Californian corpse beautician, and Mr. Joyboy, a master of the embalmer's art. Waugh's dark and savage satire on the Anglo-American cultural divide depicts a world where reputation, love, and death cost a very great deal."
