Scoop by Evelyn Waugh

$8.00 NZD

Category: Vintage Fiction | Series: Modern Classics Ser. | Reading Level: very good

Lord Copper, newspaper magnate and proprietor of the Daily Beast, has always prided himself on his intuitive flair for spotting ace reporters. That is not to say he has not made the odd blunder, however, and may in a moment of weakness make another. Acting on a dinner party tip from Mrs. Algernon Stitc h, Lord Copper feels convinced that he has hit on just the chap to cover a promising war in the African Republic of Ishmaelia. So begins Scoop, Waugh's exuberant comedy of mistaken identity and brilliantly irreverent satire of the hectic pursuit of hot news. ...Show more

Put Out More Flags by Evelyn Waugh

$8.00 NZD

Category: Vintage Fiction | Series: Penguin Modern Classics Ser. | Reading Level: very good

Evelyn Waugh's hilarious and deadly serious 1942 satire on the 'phoney war'. What happened to the characters of Decline and Fall and Vile Bodies when the war broke out? Put Out More Flags shows them adjusting to the changing social pattern of the times. Some of them play a valorous part; others, like t he scapegrace Basil Sea, disclose their incorrigible habit of self-preservation in all circumstances. Basil's contribution to the war effort involves the use of his peculiar talents in such spheres of opportunity as the Ministry of Information and an obscure section of Military Security - adventures which incite Evelyn Waugh to another pungent satire upon the coteries of Mayfair. ...Show more

Nothing can stand in our way. When Oxford-educated Emperor Seth succeeds to the throne of the African sta te of Azania, he has a tough job on his hands. His subjects are ill-informed and unruly, and corruption, double-dealing, and bloodshed are rife. With the aid of Minister of Modernization Basil Seal, Seth plans to introduce his people to the civilized ways of the West--but will it be as simple as that?Profound hilarity ensues from the issuance of homemade currency, the staging of a Birth Control Gala, the rightful ruler's demise at his own rather long and tiring coronation ceremonies, and a good deal more mischief. ...Show more

Wilderness Tips by Margaret Atwood

In each of these tales, Margaret Atwood deftly illuminates the single instant that shapes a whole life: In a few brief minutes we watch as characters progress from the vulnerabilities of adolescence through the passions of youth into the precarious complexities of middle age. By superimposing the past o n the present, Atwood paints interior landscapes shaped by time, regret, and life's lost chances, endowing even the banal with a sense of mystery.Richly layered and disturbing, poignant at times and scathingly witty at others, the stories in Wilderness Tips take us into the strange and secret places of the heart and inform the familiar world in which we live with truths that cut to the bone. ...Show more
