"Decline and Fall" was British author Evelyn Waugh's debut novel and its publication announced the arrival of a major talent in 20th century literature. The story follows the adventures of protagonist Paul Pennyfeather as he gets expelled from Oxford (for running through the campus trouser-less) and is forced to take a job in a tiny Welsh private school. There, Pennyfeather becomes involved with the mother of one of his students, who is running a local brothel and has dreams of becoming Pennyfeather's wife....if he can stay out of jail. A lighthearted and hilarious romp, "Decline and Fall" is among Evelyn Waugh's most beloved novels and it is presented here in its original and unabridged format. |
