Sinossi
Tra il 1929 e il 1935 Evelyn Waugh viaggiò molto e scrisse quattro libri sulle sue esperienze. In questa raccolta racconta, con il suo consueto arguzia e intuito, di una crociera nel Mediterraneo; di un viaggio in treno da Gibuti all'Abissinia per assistere all'incoronazione dell'imperatore Haile Selassie nel 1930; dei suoi viaggi ad Aden, Zanzibar, Kenya e Congo, alle prese con un caldo insopportabile e tormentato dalle zanzare; di un viaggio in Guyana e Brasile; e del suo ritorno ad Addis Abeba nel 1935 per raccontare la guerra tra Abissinia e Italia. Le avventure di Waugh durante i suoi viaggi gli diedero le idee per romanzi classici come Scoop e Black Mischief.

Informazioni sull?autore
Evelyn Waugh was born in Hampstead in 1903 and educated at Hertford College, Oxford. In 1928 he published his first novel, Decline and Fall, which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930), Black Mischief (1932), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). During these years he also travelled extensively and converted to Catholicism. In 1939 Waugh was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards, experiences which informed his Sword of Honour trilogy (1952-61). His most famous novel, Brideshead Revisited (1945), was written while on leave from the army. Waugh died in 1966.
