Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966) is an outstanding British writer, biographer and journalist, one of the most subtle stylists, as well as a recognized master of black humor and deadly caustic satire; the creator of grotesquely funny fantasies, where the way of life of the British Empire, which is fading into the past, is fancifully refracted. This edition includes three novels, which, without a doubt, can be attributed to the most striking and widely known works of the author: “A Fistful of Ashes”, “Vile Flesh” and “Decline and Destruction”. Their characters belong to different generations and different classes. The hero of the novel A Fistful of Ashes, Tony Last, is a landowner, a naive idealist and romantic, thrown into dust after his wife’s betrayal and the death of his son. The characters in the novel “Vile Flesh” belong to the generation of the twenties of the last century; they spend their days in the tireless pursuit of worldly pleasures, exercising their inventive minds in new whims and adventures. The protagonist of Decline and Fall is a teacher who joins a privileged boarding school after being expelled from Oxford in disgrace for participating in a wild party. These heroes, so different, are united by a certain common fatal fate, an inevitable fate that pushes them to reckless, sometimes inexplicable actions and decisions.
