About this audiobook
A book of brilliant entertainments: 39 stories spanning the entire career of a great modern writer and an undisputed comic genius, "a satirist whose skill at sticking pens in people rates him a roomy cell in the murderers' row (Swift, Poe, Wilde, Shaw) of English letters" (Time).
A Hachette Audio production.
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.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I did not care for a single story in this entire collection. It came off as trite, uninteresting, and lacking in form, structure, characterization, and plot. I do not recommend this at all.1 star.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wonderfully evocative and well constructed short stories - also includes some works which are connected to his novels rather than being short stories in their own right. Some of the stories are extremely bleak in terms of the human condition.
