Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh

Title: Decline and Fall Author: Evelyn Waugh Narrator: Michael Maloney Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 30 minutes Release date: December 11, 2012 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.75 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: Evelyn Waugh's 'irresistible' first novel (New York Times) is a brilliant and hilarious satire of English school life in the 1920s. Sent down from Oxford after a wild, drunken party, Paul Pennyfeather is oddly surprised to find himself qualifying for the position of schoolmaster at a boys' private school in Wales. His colleagues are an assortment of misfits, rascals and fools, including Prendy (plagued by doubts) and Captain Grimes, who is always in the soup (or just plain drunk). Then Sports Day arrives, and with it the delectable Margot Beste-Chetwynde, floating on a scented breeze. As the farce unfolds in Evelyn Waugh's dazzling debut as a novelist, the young run riot and no one is safe, least of all Paul.

Title: Scoop Author: Evelyn Waugh Narrator: Simon Cadell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 30 minutes Release date: December 11, 2012 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.67 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the century, Scoop is a 'thoroughly enjoyable, uproariously funny' satire of the journalism business (New York Times). 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, Lord Copper feels convinced that he has hit on just the chap to cover a promising war in the African Republic of Ishmaelia. So begins Scoop, Waugh's exuberant comedy of mistaken identity and brilliantly irreverent satire of the hectic pursuit of hot news. 'Its timelessness is both hilarious and depressing.' --Seth Meyers

The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold by Evelyn Waugh
Dec 11, 201204:30:00Tap to summarizePlease visithttps://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/154158to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold Author: Evelyn Waugh Narrator: Simon Prebble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 30 minutes Release date: December 11, 2012 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: 'The very model of the modern paranoid novel' (New York Times) and an ambitious work of semi-autobiographical fiction from one of England's greatest novelists. Gilbert Pinfold is a reclusive Catholic novelist suffering from acute inertia. In an attempt to defeat insomnia he has been imbibing an unappetizing cocktail of bromide, chloral, and creme de menthe. He books a passage on the SS Caliban and, as it cruises towards Ceylon, rapidly slips into madness. Almost as soon as the gangplank lifts, Pinfold hears sounds coming out of the ceiling of his cabin: wild jazz bands, barking dogs, and loud revival meetings. He is convinced that an erratic public-address system is letting him hear everything that goes on aboard ship . . . until instead of just sounds he hears voices. And not just any voices. These voices are talking, in the most frighteningly intimate way, about him!

Following the death of a friend, the poet and pets' mortician Dennis Barlow finds himself entering the artificial Hollywood paradise of the Whispering Glades Memorial Park. Within its golden gates, death, American-style, is wrapped up and sold like a package holiday--and Dennis gets drawn into a bizarre love triangle with Aimée Thanatogenos, a naïve Californian corpse beautician, and Mr. Joyboy, a master of the embalmer's art. Waugh's dark and savage satire depicts a world where reputation, love, and death cost a very great deal.
