«¡Noticia bomba!» is Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel, published by Diario El País in hardcover (331 pages, in Spanish).
The quiet William Boot, who writes about badgers, is mistaken for a correspondent and sent by a London newspaper to Ishmaelia, an imaginary African republic, to cover a revolution. Amid incomprehensible telegrams and misunderstandings, Boot ends up with the big scoop. A mordant satire on the world of journalism.
Originally published as 'Scoop' in 1938, this Spanish edition includes a translation by Antonio Mauri and belongs to the Clásicos del Siglo XX collection (no. 24).
For fans of British satire, humor and novels about the world of journalism.
