Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Wrappers. Spine slightly darkened and with mild wear, upper cover slightly marked. Reprint (first published by Duckworth, 1946, Penguin edition first published 1951), with the ownership inscription of Alan Bell, Gerona, and his pencilled notes. Alan Scott Bell (1942-2018), librarian, for many years the custodian of Evelyn Waugh's incoming correspondence, was commissioned to write a biography of Waugh in the 1980s, but in the 1990s ceded the role to Selina Hastings. For the many writers on Waugh since, he remained an invaluable consultant; for literary editors, a willing and authoritative reviewer. He wrote a life of Sydney Smith, sometime Rector of Combe Florey, later Waugh's home village, and he edited the selected letters of Waugh's great-great-grandfather the judge Lord Cockburn. He was an adviser to Oxford University Press's "Complete Edition" of Evelyn Waugh and, with Alexander Waugh, co-editor of its volume 30, Personal Writings 1903-1921: precocious Waughs (2017).

Hardcover. Condition: gut. 2.Aufl. (= Erfolgsausgabe). Pappeinband mit geprägtem Rückentitel, illustrierten Vorsätzen (Karten) und fotografisch gestaltetem Schutzumschlag. Der Umschlag leicht randberieben, die Einbandkanten und Schnitte leicht berieben bzw. mit einzelnen kleinen Druckstellen, die Farbe der Rückenbeschriftung leicht verwischt, ansonsten rundum guter Erhaltungszustand. "Als Evelyn Waugh am 10. Oktober 1930 von London aus nach Addis Abeba aufbrach, wußte er nicht recht, was ihn erwarten würde. Aus einer Laune heraus hatte er beschlossen, aus dem fernen Afrika über die Krönung von Haile Selassie zum König der Könige zu berichten. Alle bedeutenden Weltmächte wollten die Chance auf gute Beziehungen auf keinen Fall verpassen, und so reisten sie alle zum schäbigen Dorfspektakel in die unfertige Hauptstadt Äthiopiens - und bauschten das Ereignis gewaltig auf. In Europa klangen die Berichte von der ungeheuerlichen Prachtentfaltung bei der Krönungszeremonie des Königs der Könige wie ein Märchen aus Tausendundeiner Nacht. Waugh dagegen fühlte sich wie ein englischer Gentleman inmitten geschmackloser Barbarei und sah ganz andere Dinge als seine Journalisten-Kollegen - und auch bei seiner Heimreise über Aden, Sansibar, Kenia, Belgisch-Kongo und Südafrika zeigt sich Waugh als Mann totaler Illusionslosigkeit mit staubtrockenem Humor. Sein zeitloser Bericht gehört zu den Juwelen der Reiseschriftstellerei; er wird hier erstmals auf deutsch veröffentlicht." (Verlagstext) Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh (* 28. Oktober 1903 in London; ? 10. April 1966 in Taunton) war ein britischer Schriftsteller. Mehrere seiner Romane gelten als Klassiker der englischen Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Time wählte Wiedersehen mit Brideshead und Eine Handvoll Staub zu den besten 100 englischsprachigen Romanen, die zwischen 1923 und 2005 veröffentlicht wurden. 2015 wählten 82 internationale Literaturkritiker und -wissenschaftler die satirischen Romane Scoop und Verfall und Untergang unter die bedeutendsten britischen Romane. (Wikipedia) In deutscher Sprache. 325, (3) pages. 8° (128 x 207mm).
