Аннотация

A HANDFUL OF
DUST is Evelyn Waugh's
scathing commentary on the well-mannered death struggles of
the upper classes--an irrepressibly amusing picture of society
politely blowing its own brains out, with a defiant smile.

It tells of Brenda, Tony and their friends--a wonderfully
congenial group who live by a unique set of social
standards. According to their rules, any sin is acceptable
provided it is carried off in good taste.
