The Complete Stories
Autor Evelyn Waughen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 dec 2012
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
novelA
Handful
of
Dust;from
a
"missing
chapter"
in
the
life
of
Charles
Ryder,
the
nostalgic
hero
ofBrideshead
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
imaginary)
African
outpost.
The
Complete
Stories
is
a
dazzling
distillation
of
Waugh's
genius-abundant
evidence
that
one
of
the
twentieth
century's
most
admired
and
enjoyed
English
novelists
was
also
a
master
of
the
short
form.
