Brideshead Revisited
The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder
By Evelyn Waugh
A beautiful clothbound edition of Waugh's great novel of the lost golden age before 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 Marchmain family and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian at Oxford then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognize his spiritual and social distance from them.
