Riassunto

Guy Crouchback ha perso il suo idealismo da alabardiere. Un lavoro d'ufficio a Londra gli offre la possibilità di riconciliarsi con la sua ex moglie. Poi, in Jugoslavia, come ufficiale di collegamento con i partigiani, si rende finalmente conto della futilità di una guerra che un tempo vedeva in termini di onore.

Informazioni sull?autore

Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) was born in London and educated at Oxford. He quickly established a reputation with such social satirical novels as DECLINE AND FALL, VILE BODIES and SCOOP. Waugh became a Catholic in 1930, and his later books display a more serious attitude, as seen in the religious theme of BRIDESHEAD REVISITED, a nostalgic evocation of student days at Oxford. His diaries were published in 1976, and his letters in 1980.
