About this ebook

In Evelyn Waugh's novel 'Decline and Fall', the reader is taken on a satirical journey through the absurdities of early 20th century British society. Through his sharp wit and dark humor, Waugh paints a picture of a world filled with social climbers, incompetent authority figures, and moral corruption. The writing is marked by its irreverent tone and clever wordplay, making it a compelling read for those interested in social satire. The novel is also seen as a reflection of Waugh's own disillusionment with the world around him at the time. The blend of humor and cynicism creates a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition within the context of a rapidly changing society. 'Decline and Fall' stands as a testament to Waugh's keen observation of human nature and his ability to skewer societal norms with finesse. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy dark comedy and biting social commentary.

Author

Evelyn Waugh

Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) estudió historia moderna en Oxford, donde llevó, según sus palabras, una vida de "pereza, disolución y derroche". Publicó en 1928 su primera novela, "Cuerpos viles", "¡Noticia bomba!" y "Merienda de negros", publicadas en esta colección, que le establecieron como el novelista cómico inglés más considerabe desde Dickens. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el influjo de su conversión al catolicismose hizo muy acusado; destacan entre las obras de dicho periodo "Retorno a Brideshead", la trilogía "La espada del honor" y también "Los seres queridos", en la que regresó a la veta satírica de sus primeras novelas.
