Produktbeschreibung
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.
