Description
Evelyn Waugh's travelogue, When the Going was Good, is a witty and perceptive account of his journeys around the Mediterranean and beyond.
Between 1929 and 1935, Waugh embarked on a series of adventures that took him to Djibouti, Abyssinia, Aden, Zanzibar, Kenya, the Congo, Guyana, and Brazil. He recounts his experiences with humour and insight, describing the challenges he faced in the face of unbearable heat and swarms of mosquitoes.
This collection of essays and travelogues provides a unique glimpse into Waugh's travels and the ideas that inspired some of his most famous novels, including Scoop and Black Mischief.
