Synopsis "Noventa y dos Dias (in Spanish)"

Dos años después de su aventura periodística africana en la que cubrió para el periódico "The Times" los acontecimientos de la ceremonia de coronación del Emperador de Etiopía, Haile Selassie (Gente Remota), Evelyn Waugh emprende un nuevo viaje. El destino será ahora la Guayana Británica, en el continente americano, situada al norte de Brasil y compartiendo con éste territorios de la Amazonia. Con la irónica y brillante pluma a la que nos tiene acostumbrados, el autor va describiendo el recorrido por tierras extrañas, a pie y a caballo, atravesando ríos, cruzando sabanas y selvas, subiendo y bajando colinas y montañas, visitando misioneros y negociando provisiones con indios y mestizos, durante noventa y dos días. Los días que dura este viaje.

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.
