Pelna namietnosci historia milosnego trójkata, ze splendorem i dekadencja angielskiej arystokracji u progu drugiej wojny sviatowej. Powrót do Brideshead nie jest powiescia wojenna, lecz nostalgicznym - i troche ironicznym - wspomnieniem znakomitego tumbarza o szalonym swiecie lat dwudziestych, mlodosci na uniwersytecie w Cambridge, o przyjazniach, milosciach, a zwlaszcza o dworze w Brideshead, który z perspektywy okopów wydaje sie bohaterowi utracona Arkadia...
It tells the story of the difficult loves of insular Englishman Charles Ryder and his peculiarly intense relationship with the wealthy but dysfunctional family that inhabited Brideshead. While at Oxford, Charles Ryder meets the youthful and flamboyant Sebastian Flyte, who introduces Charles to a charming and glamorous lifestyle that continues until Sebastian's health deteriorates.

Job Description
The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh's novels, Brideshead Revisited harkens 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. Charmed first by Sebastian at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, particularly his remote sister Julia, Charles eventually comes to recognize only his spiritual and social distance from them.
