Kwaye xa iminyaka engama-25 ebomini be UEvelyn waugh, (ochithe iintsuku zakhe enentlungu engaphezulu kunobuqaqawuli phakathi kwemisebenzi eyahlukeneyo kunye nomqobo wokungazigqibi iirekhodi zemfundo), kwafika inoveli yakhe yokuqala.
Ke, njengoko ndicinga ukuba inokuqinisekiswa ngokwembono yombhali owazalwa enamandla omphefumlo wokuyila ongakhange afumane indawo yakhe, umbhali weza kwihlabathi loncwadi owayeya kukwazi ukupapasha ngaphezulu kweencwadi ezingamashumi amabini, a ubuninzi bamabali, iincwadi zokuhamba okanye iibhayografi.
Njengomntu waseLondon I-Chesterton kwaye malunga nokuzenzekelayo ngexesha, uWaugh waguqukela kubuKatolika. Inyaniso yokuba ngoku ayinakulunga kodwa ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yamashumi amabini imele ukuzibophelela okufumanekileyo okwadluliselwa, ewe, kweminye yemisebenzi yaba babhali.
Ukulayisha ii-inki ngokubamba kwakhe kunye nobuqili bakhe, Ukulila phantse uhlala efumaneka kuluntu lweentsuku zakhe indawo eqhelekileyo yokubeka eyakhe iyelenqe elinamandla ngoluhlaziyo namhlanje oluvakala njengemikhwa kodwa ikwabonelela ngokuchaseneyo noluntu oluphezulu.

El UCaptain Charles Ryder ushukuma waya kwiNtloko yomtshakazi elayishwe kukumchukumisa. Ukuvalelwa ngoku okumiyo endaweni akunakumbambela iinkumbulo zeentsuku zobungangamsha.
Inyathelo ngalinye likaCharles kuloo ndawo yayikade inendlu enkulu yendlu kunye neegadi zayo zisibhaptiza ngalo mbono ungathandekiyo wamasiko kunye namasiko aqhekekileyo kuloo ndawo yimfazwe. Yonke into ngamabali othando angagqitywanga okanye iimfihlo ezifihliweyo, ubuhlobo obulahlekileyo okanye ulangazelelo olungenakwenzeka.
Ngolo thando lumnandi lokunyamalala, waziva umfundi ngokungathi inguye ngokwakhe owakhupha kwanevumba lendlu yeNkosi u-Marchmain, sihamba ngendawo iinkcazo zayo zixhomekeke kwilixa elidlulileyo elalifihlwe yinkungu yekamva elibi. Idrama ephindwe kabini enomdla kwaye ukuthatha kwayo kumabonwakude kuphumelele ngendlela engazange ibonwe.
Iindaba zebhombu!
Mhlawumbi ingacingeli ekuqalekeni kwayo ngenxa yomxholo wayo wokuhlekisa, le noveli ngumlinganiso wolo hlobo lwentando ngoku isondelwayo ivela kweminye imida, incinci nangaphantsi kuncwadi.
Ngestayile esele icociwe kunale yenoveli yakhe yokuqala "Ukuhla nokuwa", uWaugh uyaqhubeka nokugcwala kwesi siNgesi (ukuba ukuphazamiseka kweli gama kungamkelwa). Sele esaziwa ngumbhali umhlaba weendaba, usazisa ngomlinganiswa ofana neNkosi uCopper, ireferensi yoloyiso kumaphephandaba okwangoku.
Uya kuba ngoyena mntu uthumela ezona ntatheli ziphosakeleyo emfazweni, eswele ulwazi oluncinci ngemanyano kwaye engaqhotyoshelwanga nakweyiphi na imigaqo yokuziphatha.
Ubumdaka bomsebenzi onjalo benza indlela yabo njengengoma ephelelwe lixesha yokufumana ulwazi olungelulo (olulunge kakhulu kuthi ngoku), kubuchule bamajelo eendaba ukuhambisa nokudida, ukukhohlisa okanye ukufumana abaxhasi ngayo nantoni na unobangela. Nditsho nangendlela engalindelekanga nakwintatheli encinci elungiselelwe, umhlaba uya kubonakala ngamehlo okuhlekisa kubo bonke abafundi bemihla yakhe.
Ukuhla nokuwa

Ngomoya weediliya ukuya UIgnatius J. Reilly, okanye endaweni yesalathiso ebesinokusebenza kwinoveli eyaziwayo "Iyelenqe leziyatha", sihamba nekamva eliyintlekele likaPaul Pennyfeather.
Umntu othi, ukusuka kwizinyosi zempumelelo nakwimilinganiselo yokuziphatha, agqibele ekuthotyelweni yi-inertia yokuphelelwa lithemba yentlekele. Ukubonakala kunye neendibano ezikhethiweyo zomzuzu zichithwa ngumbhali.
Ukuhleka okwothusayo kunye nokunambitheka kokugxeka okuvulekileyo kombhali oselula oqale ukuvela ngendlela enomdla kuncwadi ngale ndlela.
