A Handful of Powder

Lady Brenda Last is overwhelmed by Tony Last, to whom she has been married for seven years, and by daily life in their family heirloom mansion. Brenda, who finds solace in her monotonous life by joining the London society, gradually turns her back on her family and has a fling with a fake young man, John Beaver. Tony Last, who has experienced great shocks in addition to his wife's infidelity, decides to leave everything behind and goes on a long, difficult journey. However, as the days pass, he will face the danger of losing his guide altogether.

A Handful of Dust, considered one of the most important novels of the century by leading critics such as Frank Kermode and Alexander Woollcott, and included in Time magazine's list of "One Hundred Best Novels in English of the Century", is a novel that blends tragedy, comedy and satire with its unique style. . Evelyn Waugh, who examines the problems of an alienated generation, describes with an unflinching eye the implicit barbarism that comes with the dissolution of the ties that hold society and individuals together.

-John Banville, Guardian-

"One of the most chilling, most relentless, best novels of the 20th century."
