«How to be Decadent» is George Mikes's humorous guide, published by Penguin in paperback (96 pages, in English).
George Mikes picks up the tone of «How to be an Alien» and satirizes British decadence: the loss of empire, the new status as a colony, changes in the language and everyday customs. National pride takes a beating, but the book ends on a complacent note.
Illustrated by Nicolas Bentley. Work originally published in 1977; this Penguin edition is from 1981.
For those who enjoy British humor and social satire about life and customs in the United Kingdom.
George Mikes was a Hungarian and British journalist, humourist and writer, best known for his humorous commentaries on various countries.
