9780141184029 - Penguin Modern Classics   Scoop - Evelyn Waugh Kartoniert (TB)
Bilder-Quelle: discount24.de - Sport-Freizeit
One of Evelyn Waugh's most exuberant comedies Scoop is a brilliantly irreverent satire of Fleet Street and its hectic pursuit of hot news. Lord Copper newspaper magnate and proprietor of The Daily Beast has always prided himself on his intuitive flair for spotting ace reporters. That is not to say he has not made the odd blunder however and may in a moment of weakness make another. Acting on a dinner party tip from Mrs Algernon Stitch he feels convinced that he has hit on just the chap to cover a promising little war in the African Republic of Ishmaelia. But for pale ineffectual William Boot editor of the Daily Beast's 'nature notes' column being mistaken for a competent journalist may prove to be a fatal error...If you enjoyed Scoop you might like Waugh's Decline and Fall also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'Waugh at the mid-season point of his perfect pitch'Christopher Hitchens
