Abstract: | "Un puñado de polvo" ("A Handful of Dust") is a captivating novel by renowned British author Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966). Set in 1930s England, this tragicomic tale follows the life of Tony Last, a disillusioned aristocrat entangled in a loveless marriage with Brenda. As Tony seeks solace in an ill-fated expedition to the Amazon, Brenda initiates an affair back home, leading to a series of unexpected and darkly humorous events. Through astute storytelling and wit, Waugh masterfully exposes the decay of the British upper class and the emptiness of their lives. |
