Brideshead Revisited - in the first issue dust wrapper

Waugh, Evelyn

Edité par London Chapman and Hall 1945, 1945

A first edition, first printing published by Chapman and Hall in 1945. A very good book with some spotting to the page block and a little staining to the top edge. No inscriptions - little browning to the spine tips. Light stain to the front pastedown corner. Crease to the rear pastedown. In a dust wrapper which has benefitted from restoration to the spine and a little to the edges. A poignant exploration of love, faith, and societal change in pre-World War II England. The novel follows Charles Ryder's evolving relationships with the aristocratic Flyte family, particularly his friendship with the charismatic Sebastian Flyte and his complex connection with Sebastian's sister, Julia. Through the lens of Charles's narrative, the novel delves into themes of nostalgia, Catholicism, and the decline of the British aristocracy. Waugh's eloquent prose captures the essence of a bygone era, blending social critique with a deeply personal and evocative portrayal of characters navigating the shifting sands of love and identity.
