Alec Waugh Bücher
8. Juli 1898 – 3. September 1981
Alexander Raban Waugh war ein Autor, der für seine satirischen und oft kontroversen Werke bekannt war, insbesondere für seine frühen Romane, die offen Themen wie Homosexualität unter Studenten behandelten. Sein Stil war geprägt von scharfen Beobachtungen gesellschaftlicher Sitten und oft exotischen Schauplätzen für seine Erzählungen. Neben seinen literarischen Werken experimentierte Waugh auch mit gesellschaftlichen Neuerungen und erfand Berichten zufolge die Cocktailparty. Seine Romane waren kommerziell erfolgreich, auch wenn er nicht so breite Anerkennung fand wie sein Bruder Evelyn. Sein Werk hinterließ eine unverkennbare Spur in der Literatur und darüber hinaus.
The author was serving in the trenches of Passchendaele with the Dorset Regiment. Captured in the German offensives in March 1918, this book records his experiences as a POW. Waugh was first shipped to a temporary camp at Karlsruhe; and then moved to Mainz on the Rhine. This book records attempts to escape, but is also notable for its unsparing account of the privations of the prisoners, as underfed and permanently hungry, they awaited the end of the war in a Germany that was close to starvation.
