Overview
Overview
The wellsprings of desire and the impediments to love come brilliantly into focus in Evelyn Waugh's masterpiece-a novel that immerses us in the glittering and seductive world of English aristocracy in the waning days of the empire.Through the story of Charles Ryder's entanglement with the Flytes, a great Catholic family, Evelyn Waugh charts the passing of the privileged world he knew in his own youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities. At once romantic, sensuous, comic, and somber, Brideshead Revisited transcends Waugh's early satiric explorations and reveals him to be an elegiac, lyrical novelist of the utmost feeling and lucidity.

SIX STAR READ!!!!!!
Daniel D. - 5 years 4 months agoThis is really a SIX STAR READ!!! If you've never read it and you love literary fiction, do yourself a giant sized favor and read it. Brideshead Revisited is Evelyn Waugh's masterpiece. It is a truly satisfying read, one that the reader savors every sentence, re-reads paragraphs because of their beauty, and wishes the book would not end. Enjoy! #ResolveToRead
