Upper-class scoundrel Basil Seal, mad, bad, and dangerous to know, creates havoc wherever he goes, much to the despair of the three women in his life-his sister, his mother, and his mistress. When Neville Chamberlain declares war on Germany, it seems the perfect opportunity for more action and adventure. So Basil follows the call to arms and sets forth to enjoy his finest hour-as a war hero.

Language: English

Release date: 12-11-12

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

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

Summary:

'A work of art as rich and subtle and unnerving as anything its author has ever done' (New Yorker), The Loved One is Evelyn Waugh's cutting satire of 1940s California and the Anglo-American cultural divide.

Following the death of a friend, the poet and pets' mortician Dennis Barlow finds himself entering the artificial Hollywood paradise of the Whispering Glades Memorial Park. Within its golden gates, death, American-style, is wrapped up and sold like a package holiday--and Dennis gets drawn into a bizarre love triangle with Aimée Thanatogenos, a naïve Californian corpse beautician, and Mr. Joyboy, a master of the embalmer's art. Waugh's dark and savage satire depicts a world where reputation, love, and death cost a very great deal.

Title: Black Mischief

Narrator: Michael Maloney

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:00:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-11-12

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

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

Summary:

'A hilarious and still timely tale of emerging Africa and declining England' (Time), Evelyn Waugh's third novel helped to establish his reputation as a mater satirist.

'We are Progress and the New Age. Nothing can stand in our way.' When Oxford-educated Emperor Seth succeeds to the throne of the African state 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.

Title: Sword of Honor

Author: Evelyn Waugh

Narrator: Simon Prebble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24:30:00

Language: English

Release date: 12-11-12

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Classics, War & Military

Summary:

This trilogy spanning World War II, based in part on Evelyn Waugh's own experiences as an army officer, is the author's surpassing achievement as a novelist. Its central character is Guy Crouchback, head of an ancient but decayed Catholic family, who at first discovers new purpose in the challenge to defend Christian values against Nazi barbarism, but then gradually finds the complexities and cruelties of war overwhelming. Though often somber, Sword of Honor is also a brilliant comedy, peopled by the fantastic figures so familiar from Waugh's early satires. The deepest pleasures these novels afford come from observing a great satiric writer employ his gifts with extraordinary subtlety, delicacy, and human feeling, for purposes that are ultimately anything but satiric.

Sword of Honor comprises the three acclaimed novels Men at Arms, Officers and Gentlemen, and Unconditional Surrender.

Summary:

What if you could actually see angels and fallen angels engaging in battle? Would you have the courage to join the fight? A year ago, Jonah Stone and his sister Eliza discovered that their mother is a nephilim, the child of a union between a human and a fallen angel, which makes them and their little brother, Jeremiah, quarterlings, or one-quarter angel. When Jonah and Eliza are attacked by fallen angels at school, they learn that quarterlings are being targeted all over the world. The kids undergo special training to help them discover their own unique angelic gifts and rescue a kidnapped prophet — one who holds the key to a battle between good and evil. This fast-paced fantasy adventure based in Scripture brings spiritual warfare to life. The series is the first Christian answer to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Kane Chronicles, The Secret Series, and other middle-grade series packed with adventure, action, and the supernatural. But the message is solidly scriptural in that the most powerful weapon of all is prayer.

Summary:

Evelyn Waugh's personal favorite of his novels and 'a superlatively well done book' (Chicago Tribune) set in the age of Emperor Constantine.

Helena is the intelligent, horse-mad daughter of a British chieftain who is thrown into marriage with the man who will one day become the Roman emperor Constantius. Leaving home for lands unknown, she spends her adulthood seeking truth in the religions, mythologies, and philosophies of the declining ancient world, and becomes initiated into Christianity just as it is recognized as the religion of the Roman Empire. Helena--a novel that Evelyn Waugh considered to be his favorite, and most ambitious, work--deftly traverses the forces of corruption, treachery, enlightenment, and political intrigue of Imperial Rome as it brings to life an inspiring heroine.
