Brideshead revisited : The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder
de Evelyn Waugh
Penguin books, 1957, 332 p. ; 18 cm.
Many of best English novels are portraits of a family. In this one Evelyn Waugh narrates the fortunes of the accomplished but eccentric family of Lord Marchmain in a social panorama that ranges from Oxford to Venice. His dissection of moral infirmities of Society is a sharp and candid as it was in "Decline and Fall" or "Vile Bodies"; but in "Brideshead Revisisted", the longest and most ambitious of his novels, he also reveals a deep concern and sympathy for the dilemmas of the individual.
