Sword of Honor
Autor Evelyn Waughen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 dec 2012
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
Honoris
also
a
brilliant
comedy,
peopled
by
the
fantastic
figures
so
familiar
from
Waugh's
early
satires.
The
deepest
pleasures
these
novels
afford
come
from
observing
a
great
satiric
writer
employ
his
gifts
with
extraordinary
subtlety,
delicacy,
and
human
feeling,
for
purposes
that
are
ultimately
anything
but
satiric.
Sword
of
Honorcomprises
the
three
acclaimed
novelsMen
at
Arms,
Officers
and
Gentlemen,andUnconditional
Surrender.

Recenzii
"Sword
of
Honourwas
the
climax
of
Waugh's
career
as
a
novelist
.
.
.
Here
in
his
final
work
there
run
together
the
two
styles,
of
mischief
and
gravity,
that
can
be
noted
in
his
writing
from
the
beginning
.
.
.
He
may
justifiably
have
thought
of
it
as
crowning
his
work."—Frank

"Sword of Honornow clearly emerges as Mr. Waugh's main achievement to date, and the one piece of English fiction about World War II which is certain to survive."—Times Literary Supplement
