Synopsis "Cuerpos Viles"

Fiestas de máscaras, fiestas salvajes, fiestas victorianas, fiestas griegas, fiestas del salvaje Oeste, fiestas rusas, fiestas de circo, fiestas en las que uno tenía que disgrazarse de cualquier otro, fiestas a las que se concurrirá casi desnudo, en el bosque de St. John, fiestas en apartamentos y en estudios y en casas y en barcos y en hoteles y en clubs nocturnos, en molinos y en piscinas, tés en la escuela, dondese comían bollos y merengues y cangrejo en lata, fiestas en Oxford, donde se bebía jerez y se fumaban cigarrillos turcos, aburridos bailes enLondres y cómicos bailes en Escocia y desagradables bailes en París... Toda esa sucesión y repetición de humanidad apiñada... Esos cuerpos viles.

Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966) was a British novelist known for his sharp social satire and elegant prose. Educated at Lancing College and Hertford College, Oxford, he briefly worked as a teacher before fully dedicating himself to writing. His experiences in World War II notably influenced his work, especially in the Sword of Honour trilogy (1952–1961).

Among his most notable works are Decline and Fall (1928), A Handful of Dust (1934), Scoop (1938), and Brideshead Revisited (1945), the latter considered one of his most influential novels. He also wrote biographies, travel books, and short stories, establishing himself as a central figure in 20th-century English literature.
