Krátky popis
Brideshead Revisited is Evelyn Waugh's stunning novel of duty and
desire set amongst the decadent, faded glory of the English
aristocracy in the run-up to the Second World War. The most
nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh's novels, Brideshead
Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War.
It tells the story of Charles Ryder's infatuation with the
Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they
inhabit.Enchanted first by Sebastian Flyte at Oxford, then by his
doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia,
Charles comes finally to recognise his spiritual and social
distance from them. Evelyn Waugh (1903-66) was born in Hampstead,
second son of Arthur Waugh, publisher and literary critic, and
brother of Alec Waugh, the popular novelist. In 1928 he published
his first work, a life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and his first
novel, Decline and Fall, which was soon followed by Vile Bodies
(1930), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938).In 1939 he was
commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the
Royal Horse Guards, serving in the Middle East and in Yugoslavia.
In 1942 he published Put Out More Flags and then in 1945 Brideshead
Revisited. Men at Arms (1952) was the first volume of 'The Sword of
Honour' trilogy, and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, the
other volumes, Officers and Gentlemen and Unconditional Surrender,
followed in 1955 and 1961.If you enjoyed Brideshead Revisited, you
might like Waugh's Vile Bodies, also available in Penguin Classics.
'Lush and evocative ... Expresses at once the profundity of change
and the indomitable endurance of the human spirit'The Times
