Reviews
"[Men at Armsis] a highly entertaining novel. Waugh's sharp wit and sure touch of satire are always at work." The Atlantic Monthly "[Officers and Gentlemenis] deft and amusing, sober and appalling. And it offers, incidentally, one of the most graceful salutes of many seasons to the flexibility of the English language." New York Times "Wise, amusing, and beautifully written. And because Officers and Gentlemenverifies a deepening seriousness and charity in Mr. Waugh's art, it extends and renews the promise of his brilliant talent." Commonwealth "The End of the Battle[is] hypnotically readable . . . The complete work now clearly emerges as Mr. Waugh's main achievement to date, and the one piece of English fiction about [World War II] which is certain to survive." Times Literary Supplement "Sword of Honourwas the climax of [Waugh's] career as a novelist . . . Here in his final work there run together the two styles, of mischief and gravity, that can be noted in his writing from the beginning . . . He may justifiably have thought of it as crowning his work." from the Introduction by Frank Kermode, "[Men at Armsis] a highly entertaining novel.

Synopsis
This trilogy of novels about World War II, largely based on his own experiences as an army officer, is the crowning achievement of Evelyn Waugh's career. 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 too much for him. Yet, though often somber, the Sword of Honour trilogy 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., (Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) This trilogy of novels about World War II, largely based on his own experiences as an army officer, is the crowning achievement of Evelyn Waugh's career.

- *****- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufThe item came wrapped in plastic covering but unfortunately, the lids weren't on tight or the postal service really jostled it because shampoo leaked everywhere. I reached out to the seller looking to get a swap. Instead, I was offered a refund and was not required to send the product back. They stated they just wanted me to be 100% satisfied. More companies should be this awesome.
