Ivlin V (1903–1966) is an outstanding British writer, biographer and journalist, one of the thinnest stylists, as well as a recognized master of black humor and murderously caustic satire, the creator of grotesque-laugh fantasies, where the life"s life is fancifully refracted by the life of the British Empire. Three novels were included in the real publication, which, without a doubt, can be attributed to the most vivid and widely known works of the author: “handful of dust”, “vile flesh” and “decline and destruction”. Their characters belong to different generations and different classes. The hero of the novel “The handful of the ashes” Tony Last is a landowner, a naive idealist and romantic, defeated in ashes after the betrayal of his wife and the death of his son. The characters of the novel “Vile flesh” belong to the generation of the twenties of the last century, they spend their days in the tireless pursuit of secular pleasures, exercising their inventive minds in new whims and adventures. The main character of the novel “Decline and Destruction” is a teacher entering a privileged closed school after he was expelled with shame from Oxford for participating in a violent party. These heroes, such different ones, are united by a certain common fatal fate, inevitable rock, pushing them to reckless, sometimes inexplicable actions and decisions
