Sinossi
Solo quando si è persa ogni curiosità sul futuro si è raggiunta l'età per scrivere un'autobiografia. Waugh inizia la sua storia con l'eredità, scrivendo di uomini e donne energici, letterati e talvolta eccentrici che, senza che loro stessi lo sapessero, contribuirono al suo genio. A parte qualche pallida ombra, la sua infanzia fu calda, luminosa e serena. I giorni di scuola di Hampstead e Lancing che seguirono furono talvolta piacevoli, ma spesso no. La sua vita a Oxford, che evoca in Ritorno a Brideshead, fu essenzialmente un catalogo di amicizie. Il suo freddo ricordo di quei giorni edonistici è un ritratto della generazione di Harold Acton, Cyril Connolly e Anthony Powell. Quel mondo esclusivo lo ricorda con elegante arguzia e precisione. Chiude con le sue esperienze come maestro in una scuola preparatoria nel Galles del Nord che ispirarono Declino e caduta.

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.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'Only when one has lost all curiosity about the future has one reached the age to write an autobiography.' Waugh begins his story with heredity, writing of the energetic, literary and sometimes eccentric men and women who, unknown to themselves, contributed to his genius. Save for a few pale shadows, his childhood was warm, bright and serene. The Hampstead and Lancing schooldays which followed were sometimes agreeable, but often not. His life at Oxford - which he evokes in Brideshead Revisited - was essentially a catalogue of friendship. His cool recollection of those hedonistic days is a portrait of the generation of Harold Acton, Cyril Connolly and Anthony Powell. That exclusive world he recalls with elegant wit and precision. He closes with his experiences as a master at a preparatory school in North Wales which inspired Decline and Fall. Codice articolo LU-9780140183092
