Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 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. In a novel that combines tragedy, comedy, and savage irony, Evelyn Waugh indelibly captures the irresponsible mood of the "crazy and sterile generation" between the wars.

A Handful of Dust
ISBN: 9780241970553 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. (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...

Seinen historischen wie geistreichen Abstecher in die Frühzeit des Christentums liest Walter Hilsbecher.Lesung mit...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Evelyn Waugh presented his biography of St. Edmund Campion, the Elizabethan poet, scholar and gentleman who became the haunted, trapped and murdered priest as "a simple, perfectly true story of heroism and holiness."
