Сокращенная версия книги путевых заметок. "Это произведение, отмеченное суховатым юмором, интересно не столько описаниями шаблонных туристических достопримечательностей и красот Средиземноморья, сколько зарисовками быта и нравов туземцев, так или иначе вовлеченных в туристический бизнес, и эскизными портретами спутников повествователя". (Николай Мельников)
Evelyn Waugh was the last of the great letter-writers, and his witty, elegant correspondence to a wide circle of friends contains more than a touch of malice. In the 1920s Waugh wrote to a schoolfriend about his undergraduate escapades at Oxford and the Harold Acton and Henry Green of his unhappy jobs, his literary plans and the break-up of his first marriage. In the 1930s his boistero...
Ивлин Во (1903–1966) – выдающийся британский писатель, биограф и журналист, один из самых тонких стилистов, а также признанный мастер черного юмора и убийственно едкой сатиры; создатель гротескно-смешных фантазий, где причудливо преломляется жизненный уклад уходящей в прошлое Британской империи. В настоящее издание вошли три романа, которые, без сомнения, можно отнести к наиболее ярким и широко из...

In honor of the hundredth anniversary of Evelyn Waugh’s birth, four of the master’s most wickedly scathing comedies are here brought together in one volume. Black Mischief is Waugh at his most mischievous–inventing a politically loopy African state as a means of pulverizing politics at home. In Scoop, it is journalism’s turn to be drawn and quartered. The Loved One (which became a famously hila...
Thirty years’ worth of Evelyn Waugh’s inimitable travel writings have been gathered together for the first time in one volume. Waugh’s accounts of his travels–spanning the years from 1929 to 1958–describe journeys through the West Indies, Mexico, South America, the Holy Land, and Africa. And just as his travels informed his fiction, his novelist’s sensibility is apparent in each of these pieces...
This trilogy of novels about World War II, largely based on his own experiences as an army officer, is the crowning achievement of Evelyn Waugh’s career. Its central character is Guy Crouchback, head of an ancient but decayed Catholic family, who at first discovers new purpose in the challenge to defend Christian values against Nazi barbarism, but then gradually finds the complexities and crueltie...

In this unique collection of Waugh's early short stories, some of which became the inspirations for his novels, Waugh displays his unique talent for comedy and narration. 'Mr Loveday's Little Outing' is a blackly comic tale of a mental asylum and its favourite resident, while 'Cruise' sees a hilarious series of letters from a naive young woman as she travels with her ...
This collection covers the period from 1911, when Waugh was seven, to 1966, a few weeks before his death. Despite occasional gaps, the diary presents a continuous record of the thoughts and acts of the tantalizingly complex man whom Graham Greene saluted as 'the greatest novelist of my generation.' Here also is an unparalleled day-to-day portrait of the crumbling, giddy society that Waug...
1928. English writer, regarded by many as the leading satirical novelist of his day. Among Waugh's most popular books is Brideshead Revisited.
