ISBN: 9780316216555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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...

In the years following the First World War a new generation emerged, wistful and vulnerable beneath the glitter.

In these pages a vivid assortment of characters, among them the struggling writer Adam Fenwick-Symes and the glamorous, aristocratic Nina Blount, hunt fast and furiously for ever greater sensations and the hedonistic fulfillment of their desires. Evelyn Waugh's acidly funny satire reveals the...

Helena, 1 Audio-CD, 1 MP3
ISBN: 9783742428332 / CD-Audio Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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...

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.

So Basil follows the call to arms and sets forth to enjoy his finest hour-as a war hero. Basil's instincts for self-preservation come to the fore as he insinuates himself into the Ministry of Information and a little-known section of Military Security. With Europe frozen in the "phoney war,"...

The Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, made the historic pilgrimage to Palestine, found pieces of wood from the true Cross, and built churches at Bethlehem and Olivet. Her life coincided with one of the great turning-points of history: the recognition of Christianity as the religion of the Roman Empire.

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)Evelyn Waugh's 1934 novel is a bitingly funny vision of aristocratic decadence in England between the wars. It tells the story of Tony Last, who, to the irritation of his wife, is inordinately obsessed with his Victorian Gothic country house and life. When Lady Brenda Last embarks on an affair with the worthless John Beaver out of boredom with her husband, she sets in motion a sequence of tragicomic disasters that reveal Waugh at his most scathing. The action is set in the brittle social world recognizable from Decline and Fall and Vile Bodies, darkened and...

Leaving home for lands unknown, she spends her adulthood seeking truth in the religions, mythologies, and philosophies of the declining ancient world, and becomes initiated into Christianity just as it is recognized as the religion of the Roman Empire.
