  • "In the years following the first World War a new generation with their mix of innocence and sophistication, exercise their minds and bodies in every kind of capricious escapade."
  • "The comic aspects of London society during the thirties are treated in Waugh's early novel."
  • "Evelyn Waugh's second novel, "Vile Bodies" is his tribute to London's smart set. It introduces us to society as it used to be but that now is gone forever, and probably for good."
  • "Classic fiction. In the years following the First World War a new generation emerges, wistful and vulnerable beneath the glitter. The Bright Young Things of twenties Mayfair, with their paradoxical mix of innocence and sophistication, exercise their hedonistic whims and vile bodies in every kind of capricious escapade. In a quest for treasure, a favourite party occupation, a vivid assortment of characters hunt fast and furiously for ever greater sensations and the fulfilment of unconscious desires."

  • "Dva romány anglického satirika a humoristy. První, který si bere na mušku mladé "rozverníky" z tzv. vyšší společnosti po první světové válce, je satirickým podobenstvím o tom, jak staré anglické způsoby života ztrácejípůvodnímorální obsah a mění se v ustrnulé, konvenční a děsivé postoje. Druhý, vzniklý po druhé světové válce, je brilantní satirou na hollywoodské pohřební ústavy a na přidružený průmysl, který těží ze strachu před smrtí."
  • "A satirical novel set in the glamorous but often bizarre world of the "bright young things" of the 1920's."@en
  • "Set in England between the wars, this novel examines the frenetic but empty lives of the Bright Young Things, young people who indulge in constant party-going, heavy drinking, and promiscuous sex. At the novel's end, the realities of the world intrude, with Adam Fenwick-Symes, the protagonist, serving on a battlefield at the onset of another world war."@en
