Beschreibung

Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh, published in 1928, is a classic satirical novel that marks Waugh's debut into the literary world.


The story revolves around Paul Pennyfeather, a student at Oxford University who is unjustly expelled and subsequently finds himself teaching at a subpar school in Wales. The novel humorously explores themes of absurdity, social satire, and the peculiarities of British life.


Waugh's sharp wit and keen observation of societal norms make "Decline and Fall" a delightful and insightful read. The novel is filled with eccentric characters and bizarre situations, offering a unique critique of the social and educational systems of the time.


It is a perfect choice for readers who enjoy satire, British humor, and an exploration of the foibles of society.
