Selected by Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the
century and called "Evelyn Waugh's finest achievement" by the New
York Times, Brideshead Revisited is a stunning exploration of
desire, duty, and memory. 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
