Brideshead Revisited

Description

The first edition of Evelyn Waugh’s masterpiece opens during the Second World War, then flashes back to the hero Charles Ryder’s Oxford days, when he became immersed in the life of an aristocratic Catholic family via their wild scion Sebastian Flyte. The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh’s novels, Brideshead Revisited tells of Ryder’s infatuation with the Marchmain family and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian, then by his remote sister Julia, Charles finally comes to recognise his spiritual and social distance from the whole family and what they represent. This first edition is in good condition.
