Descrição da editora
Vile Bodies – A Dazzling Satire of Youth, Love, and Excess
Step into the glittering, chaotic world of 1920s high society, where parties never end and scandal is always just around the corner.
In Vile Bodies, Evelyn Waugh delivers a sharp, witty satire of the “Bright Young Things”—a generation obsessed with pleasure, fashion, and fleeting fame. At the center of the whirlwind are Adam Fenwick-Symes and Nina Blount, a young couple desperately trying to marry amid financial struggles, social pressures, and a series of absurd misadventures.
From outrageous parties and eccentric aristocrats to the relentless buzz of gossip and media frenzy, the novel captures a society teetering between carefree indulgence and underlying emptiness. Waugh’s biting humor and fast-paced storytelling reveal both the glamour and the hollowness of a world driven by excess.
