A handful of dust : a novel / by Waugh, Evelyn,1903-1966.(CARDINAL)140963;

Includes bibliographical references (secondary page 16).After seven years of marriage, the beautiful Lady Brenda Last has grown bored with life at Hetton Abbey, the Gothic mansion that is the pride and joy of her husband, Tony. She drifts into an affair with the shallow socialite John Beaver and forsakes Tony for the Belgravia set. In a novel that combines tragedy, comedy, and savage irony, Evelyn Waugh indelibly captures the irresponsible mood of the "crazy and sterile generation" between the wars.

The complete stories / by Waugh, Evelyn,1903-1966.(CARDINAL)140963;

The balance -- A house of gentlefolks -- The manager of "The Kremlin" -- Love in the slump -- Too much tolerance -- Excursion in Reality -- Incident in Azania -- Bella Fleace gave a party -- Cruise -- The man who liked Dickens -- out of depth -- By special request -- Period piece -- On guard -- Mr. Loveday's little outing -- Winner takes all -- An Englishman's home -- The sympathetic passenger -- Work suspended -- Charles Ryder's schooldays -- Scott-King's modern Europe -- Tactical exercise -- Compassion -- Love among the ruins -- Basil Seal rides again."Evelyn Waugh's short fiction reveals in miniaturized perfection the elements that made him the greatest satirist of the twentieth century. The stories collected here range from delightfully barbed portraits of the British upper class to an alternative ending to Waugh's novel A Handful of Dust; from a "missing chapter" in the life of Charles Ryder, the nostalgic hero of Brideshead Revisited, to a plot-packed morality tale that Waugh composed at a very tender age; from an epistolary lark in the voice of "a young lady of leisure" to a darkly comic tale of scandal in a remote (and imaginary) African outpost. The Complete Stories is a dazzling distillation of Waugh's genius - abundant evidence that one of the twentieth century's most admired and enjoyed English novelists was also a master of the short form."--Jacket.
