About the Book

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 5.0, language: English, abstract: The aim of the hereby paper is to present the character of Evelyn Waugh. His career as a journalist was truncated as a direct result of his literary success with his first novel, Decline and Fall.

Fifteen years after writing the novel, Waugh declared that he sees many faults in the book and he thought it necessary to excuse himself by the fact that he wrote it seduced by a consequent post-war nostalgia, nevertheless, at the time he wrote the novel, however, he had no doubt he was writing something of utmost importance. Better than anyone Waugh knew that it deals with far more than an age which witnessed a regrettable decline in splendid living. Its major theme - the need to place one's relationship with God at the very centre of one's life - is something very different. Moreover, the following paper intends to analyse the two approaches to the world of faith, namely - Catholicism and Atheism in order to find the rea
