À propos de cette écoute

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.

    "Waugh's most deeply felt novel... Brideshead Revisited tells an absorbing story in imaginative terms...Mr. Waugh is very definitely an artist, with something like a genius for precision and clarity not surpassed by any novelist writing in English in his time." ( New York Times)

    Le plus pertinent  
    This long, slow moving novel tells of a bygone era not so much with nostalgia but with detached disillusionment. Written in the first person by the main character, it is joyless and disheartening. The characters’ selfishness is striking and interaction between them seems to flow essentially from necessity and social convention and to produce no lasting satisfaction. Servants, mentioned often, are nameless and faceless nonentities.

    In the audio version, Jeremy Iron’s narration does contribute to make the work more palatable. Some listeners however may find that his character with a “Canadian” accent sounds uncannily like … Barak Obama. They may also be surprised that he pronounces Chiogga “Shiogga” as if he had never heard of chianti.

    Wordy and Depressing!
