The Complete Short Stories Evelyn Waugh Penguin Classics

In this unique collection of short stories composed between 1910-62, Evelyn Waugh\'s early juvenilia are brought together with later pieces, some of which became the inspirations for his novels. \'Mr Loveday\'s Little Outing\' is a blackly comic tale of a mental asylum and its favourite resident; \'Cruise\' sees a hilarious series of letters from a naïve young woman as she travels with her family; \'A House of Gentlefolks\' observes a group of elderly eccentric aristocrats and their young heir; and in \'The Sympathetic Passenger\' a radio-loathing retiree picks up exactly the wrong hitchhiker. These witty and immaculately crafted stories display the finest writing of a master of satire and comic twists. Σελίδες: 512, Διαστάσεις: 13.1x13.1cm
