About the Book
After seven years of marriage, the beautiful Lady Brenda Last has grown bored with life at Hetton Abbey, the Gothic mansion that is the pride and joy of her husband, Tony. She drifts into an affair with the shallow socialite John Beaver and forsakes Tony for the Belgravia set. In a novel that combines tragedy, comedy, and savage irony, Evelyn Waugh indelibly captures the irresponsible mood of the "crazy and sterile generation" between the wars.About the Author
Evelyn Waugh nació en Londres en 1903. Viajó como corresponsal a diferentes países de África y Sudamérica y fue un prolífico escritor de novelas cómicas. Falleció en 1966 en Combey Florey, en Somerset. Estudió en Oxford y con veintisiete años se convirtió a la fe católica. Viajó como corresponsal a diferentes países de África y Sudamérica, y durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial sirvió en el Cuerpo Real de Marines y en la Royal Horse Guard, experiencia que inspiraría su trilogía Espada de honor (1952-1961, de próxima publicación en Impedimenta). Entre sus novelas cabe destacar Un puñado de polvo (1931), ¡Noticia bomba! (1938) y Los seres queridos (1948). En 1945, con la publicación de Retorno a Brideshead, dio comienzo su periodo de mayor éxito, durante el que publicaría la novela semiautobiográfica La odisea de Gilbert Pinfold (1957; próximamente en Impedimenta).Suggested Age: 22 Years and Up
