Evelyn Waugh A Handful of Dust-一把尘土

作者：Evelyn Waugh

书名：A Handful of Dust《一把尘土》

英文简介：Laced with cynicism and truth, "A Handful of Dust" satirizes a certain stratum of English life where all the characters have wealth, but lack practically every other credential. Murderously urbane, it depicts the breakup of a marriage in the London gentry, where the errant wife suffers from terminal boredom, and becomes enamoured of a social parasite and professional luncheon-goer.
