Its central character is Guy Crouchback  head of an ancient but decayed Catholic family  who at first discovers new purpose in the challenge to defend Christian values against Nazi barbarism  but then gradually finds the complexities and cruelties of war too much for him. Yet  though often somber  the Sword of Honour trilogy is also a brilliant comedy  peopled by the fantastic figures so familiar from Waughs early satires. The deepest pleasures these novels afford come from observing a great satiric writer employ his gifts with extraordinary subtlety  delicacy  and human feeling  for purposes that are ultimately anything but satiric.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44893611982901,"sku":"ByrdShop_0679431365","price":240.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0679431365.jpg?v=1767352594","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-sword-of-honour-trilogy-everymans-library","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
