 | Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh, Frank Kermode, Jeremy Irons
An outsider's account of a troubled aristocratic family, written by the celebrated English novelist. Charles Ryder, the narrator, is a dull and rather pompous undergraduate at Oxford when he meets Sebastian Flyte, a wealthy and sybaritic classmate. The two become improbable friends, and Sebastian brings Charles to Brideshead, his family estate, and introduces him into the circle of rich aristocratic layabouts who inhabit the place. Charles falls in love with Sebastian's sister, Julia, but religious objections (Charles is divorced, and the Flytes are Catholics) stand in the way of their marriage. Although strongly satirical in parts, and written with the savage wit for which Waugh was renowned, BRIDESHEAD REVISITED is a work of rare sensitivity and depth. AUTHOR: Evelyn Waugh, Frank Kermode, Jeremy Irons
