The gorgeous 75th-anniversary edition of Brideshead Revisited, the
novel selected by Modern Library as one of the 100 best of the
century and called "Evelyn Waugh's finest achievement" by the New
York Times. 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. "A
genuine literary masterpiece." --Time "Heartbreakingly
beautiful...The twentieth century's finest English novel." --Los
Angeles Times
