Vile Bodies

This one-volume edition includes the best works of the famous English writer. The novel “Branded Flesh” (or “The Wilful Murder”?—as titled in the original edition) offers a satirical picture of English society in the 1920s. In the novel “Returning to Brideshead,” the author shows the hopelessness of the British aristocracy in the modern capitalist world. The novella “Unforgotten” mocks the American way of life. The collection also includes stories from different years.
