Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Decline and Fall, Waugh's first novel, lays waste the "heathen idol" of British sportsmanship, the cultured perfection of Oxford, and the inviolable honor codes of the English gentleman. Review:"Decline and Fall is that all-too-rare phenomenon, a good nonsense novel. Its author has had the happy inspiration to take nothing seriously, and least of all himself. The result is a book which makes more sense than most." T. S. Matthews, The New Republic Review:"A savagely comic masterpiece." Times Literary Supplement Review:"A world of anarchic fantasy, floodlit with a bland, devastating brilliance.... Waugh's people were of two classes, both of whom he knew intimately: the giddy rich and adventurers of vast caddishness....The characters reeled their lunatic way, with sublime insouciance or sublime rascality, through a harlequinade ending in gruesome but hilarious calamity." Charles J. Rolo, Atlantic Monthly What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
