Sobre este artículo
London: Longmans, Green and Co, 1936. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, missing d/j, red cloth boards good but some rubbing on spine; gilt spine titling bright; text block reasonable but with slight forward lean; pages crisp and unmarked. Rare 1st edition.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). In 1935 Italy declared war on Abyssinia and Evelyn Waugh was sent to Addis Ababa to cover the conflict. His acerbic account of the intrigue and political machinations leading up to the crisis is coupled with amusing descriptions of the often bizarre and seldom straightforward life of a war correspondent rubbing shoulders with less-than-honest officials, Arab spies, pyjama-wearing radicals and disgruntled journalists. Witty, lucid and penetrating, Evelyn Waugh captures the dilemmas and complexities of a feudal society caught up in twentieth-century politics and confrontation.
