Subtitled "A Book of Many Manners", Evelyn Waugh's notorious first novel lays waste materials the "heathen idol" of British sportsmanship, the cultured efficiency of Oxford, and the inviolable honor codes of the English gentleman. Sent down from Oxford after a wild, drunken get together, Paul Pennyfeather is oddly amazed to find himself qualifying for the position of schoolmaster at a young boys' private school in Wales. His co-workers are a variety of misfits, rascals and fools, including Prendy (suffering from uncertainties) and Captain Grimes, who's always in the soup (or just basic drunk). Then Athletics Day will come, and with it the delectable Margot Beste-Chetwynde, floating over a scented air flow. As the farce unfolds in Evelyn Waugh's dazzling debut as a novelist, the young run riot and nobody is safe, least of most Paul.
