Evelyn Woe (19031966) was a prominent British writer, biographer and journalist, one of the most subtle stylists, as well as a recognized master of black humor and murderously caustic satire; the creator of grotesque and funny fantasies, where the way of life of the British Empire is bizarrely refracted. The present edition includes three novels, which, without a doubt, can be attributed to the most vivid and widely known works of the author: “A handful of dust”, “Despicable flesh” and “Descendence and destruction”. Their characters belong to different generations and different classes .. The hero of the novel “A handful of dust” Tony Last is a landowner, naive idealist and romantic, thrown to the dust after the betrayal of his wife and the death of his son. The characters of the novel “Despicable Flesh” belong to the generation of the twenties of the last century; they spend their days in a tireless pursuit of secular pleasures, practicing their inventive minds in new whims and adventures. The main character of the novel “Degradation and Destruction” is a teacher who enters a privileged closed school after he was shamefully expelled from Oxford for participating in a violent party. These heroes, so different, are united by a certain common fatal fate, inevitable fate, pushing them to reckless, sometimes inexplicable actions and decisions.
