内容简介
Decline and Fall (1928) was Evelyn Waugh's immensely
successful first novel, and it displays not only all of its
author's customary satiric genius and flair for unearthing the
ridiculous in human nature, but also a youthful willingness to
train those weapons on any and every thing in his path. In this
fractured picaresque comedy of the hapless Paul Pennyfeather
stumbling from one disaster to another, Waugh manages the delicious
task of skewering every aspect of the society in which he
lived.
