From the Inside Flap
Thirty years' worth of Evelyn Waugh's inimitable travel writings have been gathered together fo the first time in one volume.
Waugh's accounts of his travels--spanning the years from 1929 to 1958--describe journeys through the West Indies, Mexico, South America, the Holy Land, and Africa. And just as his travels informed his fiction, his novelists's sensibility is apparent in each of these pieces. Waugh pioneered the genre of modern travel writing in which the comic predicament of the traveler is as central as the world he encounters. He wrote with as sharp an eye for folly as for foliage, and a delight in the absurd, not least where his own comfort and dignity are concerned.
From his fresh take the well-traveled and hence alread "fully laveled" Mediterranean region in LabelsI, to a close-up view of Haile Selaissie's coronation in Remote People, from a comically miserable stint in British Guiana in Niney-two Days, to a sharp-eyed tour of The Holy Places, the seven travel books collected here provide a feast of literary adventures--as light, bright, sharp, and invigorating as Waugh's fiction.
