«Un puñado de polvo» is the novel by Evelyn Waugh, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (239 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Tony Last, an English landowner whose life falls apart after his wife's infidelity and the death of his son. Waugh portrays with irony the decline of the aristocracy, the emptiness of social relations and the rigidity of a society that resists a changing world.
The work was originally published in 1934; this 1985 edition belongs to the Biblioteca Fundamental de Nuestro Tiempo collection.
For readers of classic fiction and social satire, interested in British society of the era.
