Mandato giù da Oxford per comportamento indecente, Paul Pennyfeather è stranamente poco sorpreso di ritrovarsi qualificato per la posizione di maestro di scuola al castello di Llanabba. I suoi colleghi sono un assortimento di disadattati, mascalzoni e sciocchi, tra cui Prendy (tormentato dai dubbi) e il capitano Grimes, che è sempre nei guai (o semplicemente ubriaco). Poi arriva il giorno dello sport, e con esso la deliziosa Margot Beste-Chetwynde, che fluttua su una brezza profumata. Mentre la farsa si svolge e i giovani si scatenano, nessuno è al sicuro, men che meno Paul.

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, 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: Very Good. Evelyn Waugh's hilarious debut novel, with an introduction by Barbara Cooke Sent down from Oxford in outrageous circumstances, Paul Pennyfeather is oddly unsurprised to find himself qualifying for the position of schoolmaster at Llanabba Castle. His colleagues are an assortment of misfits, rascals and fools, including Prendy (plagued by doubts) and Captain Grimes, who is always in the soup (or just plain drunk). Then Sports Day arrives, and with it the delectable Margot Beste-Chetwynde, floating on a scented breeze. As the farce unfolds and the young run riot, no one is safe, least of all Paul. 'His first, most perfect novel . ruthlessly comic' John Mortimer, Guardian. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001191176
