Brideshead Revisited è lo straordinario romanzo di Evelyn Waugh sul dovere e il desiderio ambientato nella decadente e sbiadita gloria dell'aristocrazia inglese alla vigilia della Seconda guerra mondiale. Il più nostalgico e riflessivo dei romanzi di Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited guarda indietro all'età dell'oro prima della Seconda guerra mondiale. Racconta la storia dell'infatuazione di Charles Ryder per i Marchmain e il mondo di privilegi in rapida scomparsa in cui vivono. Incantato prima da Sebastian Flyte a Oxford, poi dalla sua famiglia cattolica condannata, in particolare dalla sorella lontana, Julia, Charles arriva finalmente a riconoscere la sua distanza spirituale e sociale da loro. Evelyn Waugh (1903-66) nacque a Hampstead, secondo figlio di Arthur Waugh, editore e critico letterario, e fratello di Alec Waugh, il popolare romanziere. Nel 1928 pubblicò la sua prima opera, una vita di Dante Gabriel Rossetti, e il suo primo romanzo, Decline and Fall, a cui seguirono presto Vile Bodies (1930), A Handful of Dust (1934) e Scoop (1938). Nel 1939 fu arruolato nei Royal Marines e in seguito trasferito alle Royal Horse Guards, prestando servizio in Medio Oriente e in Jugoslavia. Nel 1942 pubblicò Put Out More Flags e poi nel 1945 Brideshead Revisited. Men at Arms (1952) fu il primo volume della trilogia 'The Sword of Honour' e vinse il James Tait Black Memorial Prize; gli altri volumi, Officers and Gentlemen e Unconditional Surrender, seguirono nel 1955 e nel 1961. Se ti è piaciuto Brideshead Revisited, potresti apprezzare Vile Bodies di Waugh, disponibile anche in Penguin Classics. 'Lussureggiante ed evocativo. Esprime allo stesso tempo la profondità del cambiamento e l'indomabile resistenza dello spirito umano' The Times.

Evelyn Waugh was born in Hampstead in 1903 and educated at Hertford College, Oxford. In 1928 he published his first novel, Decline and Fall, which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930), Black Mischief (1932), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). During these years he also travelled extensively and converted to Catholicism. In 1939 Waugh was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards, experiences which informed his Sword of Honour trilogy (1952-61). His most famous novel, Brideshead Revisited (1945), was written while on leave from the army. Waugh died in 1966.
Brideshead Revisited is Evelyn Waugh's stunning novel of duty and desire set amongst the decadent, faded glory of the English aristocracy in the run-up to 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 Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian Flyte at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognise his spiritual and social distance from them.
