About this product

Product Information

Evelyn Waugh's acidly funny and formally daring satire, Vile Bodies reveals the darkness and vulnerability that lurks beneath the glittering surface of the high life. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Richard Jacobs.In the years following the First World War a new generation emerges, wistful and vulnerable beneath the glitter. The Bright Young Things of twenties' Mayfair, with their paradoxical mix of innocence and sophistication, exercise their inventive minds and vile bodies in every kind of capricious escapade - whether promiscuity, dancing, cocktail parties or sports cars. In a quest for treasure, a favourite party occupation, a vivid assortment of characters, among them the struggling writer Adam Fenwick-Symes and the glamorous, aristocratic Nina Blount, hunt fast and furiously for ever greater sensations and the fulfilment of unconscious desires.If you enjoyed Vile Bodies, you might like Waugh's A Handful of Dust, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'The high point of the experimental, original Waugh'Malcolm Bradbury, Sunday Times'This brilliantly funny, anxious and resonant novel ... the difficult edgy guide to the turn of the decade'Richard Jacobs'It's Britain's Great Gatsby'Stephen Fry, director of Vile Bodies film adaptation Bright Young Things

Book is in excellent condition - basically brand new - and was described as good, so I’m very pleased! Much better experience than with WorldOfBooks. Fast dispatch, fair price, and sent carefully packaged. If I sound overly impressed, I am! Look forward to using again in the future and hope to be as happy then! Highly recommended.

    A good read

    Evelyn Waugh’s second novel reflecting the era of the so called bright young things and their hedonistic escapades.

    Maybe Waugh's real life experiences are as pertinent today as ever. A must read for the serious sociologist, student or literary fan
