Title: Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold

Author: Evelyn Waugh

Narrator: Simon Prebble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:30:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-11-12

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Literary Fiction, Psychological, Satire

Summary:

'The very model of the modern paranoid novel' (New York Times) and an ambitious work of semi-autobiographical fiction from one of England's greatest novelists.

Gilbert Pinfold is a reclusive Catholic novelist suffering from acute inertia. In an attempt to defeat insomnia he has been imbibing an unappetizing cocktail of bromide, chloral, and creme de menthe. He books a passage on the SS Caliban and, as it cruises towards Ceylon, rapidly slips into madness.

Almost as soon as the gangplank lifts, Pinfold hears sounds coming out of the ceiling of his cabin: wild jazz bands, barking dogs, and loud revival meetings. He is convinced that an erratic public-address system is letting him hear everything that goes on aboard ship . . . until instead of just sounds he hears voices. And not just any voices. These voices are talking, in the most frighteningly intimate way, about him!

Title: Brideshead Revisited

Author: Evelyn Waugh

Narrator: Jeremy Irons

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:30:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-11-12

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction, Classics

Summary:

Selected by Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the century and called "Evelyn Waugh's finest achievement" by the New York Times, Brideshead Revisited is a stunning exploration of desire, duty, and memory. Read by Jeremy Irons, star of the acclaimed 1981 television series based on the novel.  The wellsprings of desire and the impediments to love come brilliantly into focus in Evelyn Waugh's masterpiece -- a novel that immerses us in the glittering and seductive world of English aristocracy in the waning days of the empire. Through the story of Charles Ryder's entanglement with the Flytes, a great Catholic family, Evelyn Waugh charts the passing of the privileged world he knew in his own youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities. At once romantic, sensuous, comic, and somber, Brideshead Revisited transcends Waugh's early satiric explorations and reveals him to be an elegiac, lyrical novelist of the utmost feeling and lucidity. "A genuine literary masterpiece." --Time "Heartbreakingly beautiful...The twentieth century's finest English novel." --Los Angeles Times

Title: Scoop

Author: Evelyn Waugh

Narrator: Simon Cadell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:30:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-11-12

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Classics, Satire

Summary:

Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the century, Scoop is a 'thoroughly enjoyable, uproariously funny' satire of the journalism business (New York Times).

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 Stitch, 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.

'Its timelessness is both hilarious and depressing.' --Seth Meyers

Title: Decline and Fall

Author: Evelyn Waugh

Narrator: Michael Maloney

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:30:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-11-12

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Classics, Satire

Summary:

Evelyn Waugh's 'irresistible' first novel (New York Times) is a brilliant and hilarious satire of English school life in the 1920s.

Sent down from Oxford after a wild, drunken party, Paul Pennyfeather is oddly surprised to find himself qualifying for the position of schoolmaster at a boys' private school in Wales. His colleagues are an assortment of misfits, rascals and fools, including Prendy (plagued by doubts) and Captain Grimes, who is always in the soup (or just plain drunk). Then Sports Day arrives, and with it the delectable Margot Beste-Chetwynde, floating on a scented breeze. As the farce unfolds in Evelyn Waugh's dazzling debut as a novelist, the young run riot and no one is safe, least of all Paul.

Title: Complete Stories

Author: Evelyn Waugh

Narrator: Simon Prebble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19:30:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-11-12

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Short Stories, Classics, Satire

Summary:

A 'lavishly entertaining' (Publishers Weekly) distillation of Waugh's genius--abundant evidence that one of the twentieth century's most admired and enjoyed English novelists was also a master of the short form.

Evelyn Waugh's short fiction reveals in miniaturized perfection the elements that made him the greatest satirist of the twentieth century. The stories collected here range from delightfully barbed portraits of the British upper classes to an alternative ending to Waugh's novel A Handful of Dust; from a 'missing chapter' in the life of Charles Ryder, the nostalgic hero of Brideshead Revisited, to a plot-packed morality tale that Waugh composed at a very tender age; from an epistolary lark in the voice of 'a young lady of leisure' to a darkly comic tale of scandal in a remote (and imaginary) African outpost.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:45:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-11-12

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Classics, Satire

Summary:

Selected by Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the century, this 'absolutely delightful' novel (New York Times) movingly and comically chronicles the breakdown of a marriage and the disintegration of English society in the years after World War I.

After seven years of marriage, the beautiful Lady Brenda Last has grown bored with life at Hetton Abbey, the Gothic mansion that is the pride and joy of her husband, Tony. She drifts into an affair with the shallow socialite John Beaver and forsakes Tony for the Belgravia set. In a novel that combines tragedy, comedy, and savage irony, Evelyn Waugh indelibly captures the irresponsible mood of the 'crazy and sterile generation' between the wars.

Fueled by idealism and eagerness to contribute to the war effort, Guy Crouchback becomes attached to a commando unit undergoing training on the Hebridean isle of Mugg, where the whisky flows freely and respect must be paid to the laird.
