Sinopsis
The greatest English comic novelist of the twentieth century produced a considerable body of shorter fiction, including several master-pieces, notably Mr Loveday's Little Outing and Scott-King's Modern Europe. These stories have all Waugh's characteristically brilliant, savage wit and reproduce his unmistakeable world in miniature. They also constitute a vital supplement to the major novels, while standing up as significant works in their own right. Two chapters of Waugh's tantalizingly unfinished novel Work Suspended are also included. This edition brings back into print 17 stories that have long been unavailable in England and America.

Acerca del autor
Evelyn Waugh was born in Hampstead, London, in 1903. He studied History at Hertford College, Oxford, but left without a degree. After a brief period as a teacher, he published his first book, a biography of the artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, in 1928. The same year also saw the publication of his first novel, Decline and Fall, which established his reputation. Further novels, including Vile Bodies (1930), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Brideshead Revisited (1945) were highly acclaimed. Waugh also wrote several travel books and short stories, and was a prolific journalist and book reviewer. Waugh died on Easter Sunday, 1966, at his home in Combe Florey, Somerset.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. These superb and elegantly designed books were relaunched in 1991, to great praise. A. S. Byatt said 'They are so beautifully produced. They are a form of civilization.' John Updike wrote, 'They are the edition of record.' They are, unsurprisingly, being collected, and the first printings especially. This is one of them. It has a unique introduction by Ann Pasternak Slater. There is a fascinating chronology, a bibliography, and an elegant setting, as befits these masterworks. A silk marker is bound in and the navy blue cloth binding has a black panel on the spine with the title in gilt. This copy has a mylar sleeved jacket, which is unclipped, but has a slight wrinkle on the front edge and a few minor marks through use. Nº de ref. del artículo: ABE-1681843696995
