To celebrate the centenary of the birth of Evelyn Waugh, Penguin have given five Waugh titles a striking new cover. Also, releasing nationwide on 3 October from Icon Film Distribution is Bright Young Things, a stunning adaptation of Vile Bodies, written and directed by Stephen Fry.
Known to the press, who follow their every move, as the 'Bright Young Things' Adam and his friends are eccentric, wild party-lovers, and entirely shocking to the older generation ('The Others').
Amidst all the madness, Adam, who is well connected yet totally broke, is desperately trying to get enough money to marry the beautiful Nina. However, whilst his attempts are constantly thwarted, his friends seem one by one to self-destruct in their endless search for newer and faster sensations.
