The Complete Stories of Evelyn Waugh (Thirty Story Titles), Vol. 1 presents a remarkable collection of short fiction by one of Britain’s most brilliant satirists. This first volume gathers early and mature works alike, including The Balance, A House of Gentlefolks, The Manager of “The Kremlin”, Love in the Slump, and Too Much Tolerance. Together, these stories reveal Waugh’s sharp eye for human weakness, his mastery of irony, and his ability to blend comedy with a sense of moral decay in modern society. Waugh’s world is one of eccentric aristocrats, struggling artists, naïve romantics, and cynical opportunists — all caught between tradition and change. His characters, often both absurd and tragic, embody the confusion of the interwar years, when old values clashed with the restless energy of the new age. Through finely observed dialogue and precise, witty narration, Waugh captures the social manners, ambitions, and hypocrisies of English life with unmatched elegance. Beyond their humor, these stories offer profound reflections on isolation, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in a fractured world. The Complete Stories of Evelyn Waugh not only showcases his stylistic brilliance but also traces the evolution of a writer whose irony and moral vision shaped twentieth-century English prose. Contents: • The Stories: - The Balance - A House of Gentlefolks - The Manager of ‘The Kremlin’ - Love in the Slump - Too Much Tolerance - Excursion in Reality - Incident in Azania - Bella Fleace Gave a Party - Cruise - The Man Who Liked Dickens - Out of Depth - By Special Request - Period Piece - On Guard - Winner Takes All - An Englishman’s Home - The Sympathetic Passenger - My Father’s House - Lucy Simmonds - Charles Ryder’s Schooldays - Compassion • Juvenilia: - The Curse Of The Horse Race - Fidon’s Confetion - Multa Pecunia - Fragment Of A Novel - The House: An Anti-Climax • Oxford Stories: - Portrait Of Young Man With Career - Antony, Who Sought Things That Were Lost - Edward Of Unique Achievement - Fragments: They Dine With The Past - Conspiracy To Murder - Unacademic Exercise: A Nature Story - The National Game
