Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966) - a prominent British writer, biographer and journalist, one of the most subtle English stylists, as well as a recognized master of black humor and killer caustic satire (often imbued with a hidden lyricism, behind which we can guess the nostalgic feeling and autobiographical plot), the creator of grotesquely funny fantasies, where bizarrely refract the way of life and ideological paradoxes of the British Empire in the past. Among Evelyn Waugh's novels are such famous works as "A Fistful of Ashes", "Sensation", "Return to Brideshead", "Unforgettable" and others. In addition, the creative heritage of the writer includes several collections of short stories; they were written in different years of life and in a miniature form combined the elements that made the author's reputation as the greatest novelist of the twentieth century. According to critics, Evelyn Waugh's short stories are a kind of quintessential style, "sketches and false starts for longer works," and ample evidence that one of England's most revered and beloved novelists was also a consummate master of the short form. This edition presents the complete collection of Evelyn Waugh's short stories, most of which are published in Russian for the first time.
