Über dieses Buch

'It's so much easier to cry in a Rolls-Royce than in a bus.' Waugh's second novel, Vile Bodies is an exemplary satire of the young and rich socialites of 1920s London. It is still widely read today, having been adapted into a film by Stephen Fry in 2003. With razor-sharp wit and lively prose, Waugh takes his reader through a heady fog of parties, scandals and trivial obsessions as we follow the lives of the wealthy and aimless. The narrative follows Adam Fenwick-Symes, a struggling writer entangled in a chaotic world of gossip, drunken aristocrats and broken engagements. Despite the glittering absurdity of Adam's life, a profound sense of disillusionment is always in his peripheral. With the looming shadow of war on the horizon, Vile Bodies is a dazzling, darkly comic phenomenon – as wickedly funny as it is subtly tragic. This audiobook edition is brilliantly read by Justin Avoth. Evelyn Waugh (1903 – 1966) was a British novelist, biographer and journalist. Often considered one of the most significant writers of the twentieth century, Waugh is famed for the novels Decline and Fall, Vile Bodies and Black Mischief, amongst others – all of which showcased his satirical wit and knack for creating memorable characters.
