Le cher disparu

Ed. 10/18, 2003. Paperback. Pp: 187. Avec Le cher disparu, cette irrésistible satire des rites funéraires américains, Evelyn Waugh s'inscrit dans la lignée d'écrivains anglais qui, depuis Swift, ont su cacher sous la joie du rire un pessimisme manichéen. Humoriste redouté, Waugh est aussi considéré, pour la pureté et le classicisme de sa langue, comme l'un des maîtres de la littérature anglaise contemporaine. ISBN: 9782264037879.

Evelyn Waugh 16463

A Handful of Dust

Everyman's Library, 2002. Hardcover. Pp: 225. 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 deepened by Waugh's own experience of sexual betrayal. As Tony is driven by the urbane savagery of this world to seek solace in the wilds of the Brazilian jungle, "A Handful of Dust " demonstrates the incomparably brilliant and wicked wit of one of the twentieth century's most accomplished novelists.

A Handful of Dust

Groothandel - BESTEL. Paperback. Pp: 273. Selected by Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the century, this "absolutely delightful" novel (New York Times) movingly and comically chronicles the breakdown of a marriage and the disintegration of English society in the years after World War I. 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. ISBN: 9780316216265.

Een handvol stof

Bezige Bij, De. Hardback. Pp: 304. Het jonge echtpaar Tony en Brenda Last leidt een vredig bestaan op het landgoed Hetton. Maar na zeven jaar van huwelijkse trouw begint lady Brenda een affaire met de nietsnut John Beaver, uit een sluimerende onvrede met haar leven in het victoriaanse landhuis van haar `waanzinnig feodale echtgenoot. De gevolgen van deze achteloze misstap zijn even desastreus als komisch en leiden uiteindelijk tot een tragedie, waarbij zoals meestal bij Evelyn Waugh vooral onschuldigen het slachtoffer worden. Een handvol stof werd geschreven in 1934 en wordt beschouwd als een van de grootste Engelse romans van de twintigste eeuw. Met zijn befaamde humor en superieure gevoel voor ironie beschrijft Waugh het uiteenvallen van een huwelijk. ISBN: 9789023458203. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
