Mit wehenden Fahnen (detebe) (German Edition) Basil Seal, Salonlöwe und Tunichtgut, sorgt für Turbulenzen, wo auch immer er auftaucht – sehr zur Verzweiflung der drei Frauen in seinem Leben, seiner Schwester, seiner Mutter und seiner Geliebten. Als Neville Chamberlain Deutschland 1939 den Krieg erklärt, scheint ihm das die perfekte Gelegenheit für ein wenig Action und Abenteuer. Basil folgt also mit wehenden Fahnen dem Ruf zu den Waffen. Doch zunächst passiert erst einmal gar nichts – Europa ist erstarrt im sogenannten Sitzkrieg. Wann kommt endlich Basil Seals große Chance, ein Held zu werden? BLACK MISCHIEF, VILE BODIES, A HANDFUL OF DUST, DECLINE AND FALL, THE LOVED ONE, PUT OUT MORE FLAGS, AND SCOOP (7 VOLUME SET) British writer, Evelyn Waugh, was best known for his darkly humorous and satirical novels. Decline and Fall <b>Evelyn Waugh&apos;s "irresistible" first novel (<i>New York Times</i>) is a brilliant and hilarious satire of English school life in the 1920s. </b><br /><br /> 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&apos; 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&apos;s dazzling debut as a novelist, the young run riot and no one is safe, least of all Paul.
